This was the AOTY’s Evening of Excellence during the EUHA

Benjamin Schadow, owner of Hörstil in Erfurt, Germany, took the European prize just weeks after scooping the German Audiologist of the Year title.

The judges were particularly impressed by his innovative use of the latest technologies, including 3D printing, to find bespoke solutions to the hearing difficulties of his patients. Collecting his award, Benjamin Schadow said, “I’m honoured to have won the European Audiologist of the Year Award and am proud to accept it on behalf of my whole team at Hörstil GmbH & Co. KG. These awards are extra special as they are nominated by patients and I’m delighted to hear that they feel that the way we listen to their needs and continuously strive to innovate is making a difference to their lives.”
