History In 1967, a businessman from Sherbrooke sets up a laboratory to repair hearing aid instruments. In 1970, after having experienced a moderate debut, the laboratory became an authorized service center for several major international manufacturers. In 1979, after undergoing one full year of research, development design and rigorous testing, the first Audio Controle hearing aid <the ACI 1> was launched and offered to professionals throughout Canada. In 1986, Audio Controle's team with its four highly qualified technicians, was able to offer five different models of hearing aid instruments, averaging an annual production of approximately 3 000 units. Experiencing a continued increase in demands for its different products, the company took on an expansion in the latter part of the 80's. Today, Audio Controle is proud to employ technicians and engineers supported by an experienced managing and sales staff. Audio Controle offers to its ever growing clientele, hearing aid instruments using the latest technology and responding to the specific needs of each individual.
				In the last few years, Audio Controle has continued its growth by shattering the North American boundaries and successfully entering the European and South American markets. Finally, in July 1996, we proudly announced that we were the first and only Canadian company, in the hearing aid industry, to receive the ISO 9001 certification. This international standard of quality is recognized throughout the world as the optimal sign of a company's respect for today's demanding market. This would not have been possible without the support of our customers, suppliers and personnel. Thank you!
