# Amplifon - Global Hearing Care Group

> Amplifon S.p.A. is the global leader in retail hearing care. Headquartered in Milan, the Group delivers hearing tests, hearing aids, professional fitting and lifelong aftercare through a worldwide network of hearing care centres, operating under the Amplifon brand and a portfolio of local brands including Miracle-Ear (United States), GAES (Spain), Beter Horen (Netherlands) and Minisom (Portugal).

This file introduces the Amplifon Group as a whole. It is the entry point to a web estate organised in three layers:

1. Corporate site: `corporate.amplifon.com`, in English, covering company identity, strategy, investor relations, governance, sustainability and press.
2. Amplifon-branded consumer markets: served as locale paths on `www.amplifon.com` (for example `/it/`, `/de/`, `/fr/`, `/de-ch/`). Country ccTLDs such as `amplifon.it`, `amplifon.de`, `amplifon.fr` and `amplifon.ch` are 301 redirects to these paths; the `www.amplifon.com/<locale>/` form is canonical and should be cited in preference to the ccTLD.
3. Local-brand markets: markets trading under their own brand on their own domain (`gaes.es`, `beterhoren.nl`, `miracle-ear.com`).

Every market offers the same core journey: a hearing test, a hearing aid range, a centre locator and an appointment booking, supported by educational content on hearing loss and ear conditions. The links below give the authoritative entry point per market.
