Founder's Story

In 1998 Russ Gentner set out to build a superior product for people with hearing loss to hear clearly in challenging environments. An audio engineer with a background in broadcasting, Russ knew there was a better way. 

Fast forward 23 years, and Listen is still moving Russ’ vision forward. Listen’s innovative products not only serve those with hearing loss, but also enable inclusive experiences for all guests. Listen solutions are used in a variety of venues and settings including, houses of worship, higher education facilities, performing arts centers, courtrooms, on leisure tours, and in manufacturing plants. 

Listen enables venues to entertain, teach, and engage with the world and its limitless possibilities by delivering the right information at the right time and place... seamlessly. 

We are guided by four core values.

Good looking, smiling and confident, 30-something man in an office environment, wearing black-framed glasses, shortish dark brown hair parted on the side and feathered, with short facial hair, very white teeth, wearing a dark navy collared shirt with a light pattern, brown belt, and khakis with his hands in his pants pockets.

Delivering an awesome experience internally and externally influences every aspect of our company, including teams, partners, vendors, and customers.
