Bangalore April 09, 2026 — In a significant move to redefine audiological care in India, Ear 360, in partnership with WSA India, has announced the grand opening of its newest BestSound Centre in Jayanagar. Located at East End Main Road, this flagship facility transitions away from traditional clinical settings toward a modern, consumer-centric retail experience.
Bridging the Gap in Hearing Healthcare
The launch comes at a critical time. Data from the World Health Organization indicates that roughly 63 million people in India suffer from significant auditory impairment. Globally, this figure exceeds 1.5 billion, with projections suggesting that 700 million people will face disabling hearing loss by 2050. Despite these numbers, the industry continues to battle high levels of stigma and low awareness.
The BestSound Centre is designed specifically to dismantle these barriers. By prioritizing discovery over consultation, the facility encourages individuals to take a proactive, empowered approach to their hearing health.
A Modern, Interactive Experience
The Jayanagar centre features a layout that mirrors modern high-end retail rather than a hospital. Highlights of the facility include:
- Interactive Sound Pod: A signature circular pod in the reception area allows visitors to explore hearing solutions at their own pace.
- Immersive Sound Zones: High-tech environments where users can test hearing aids in simulated real-life scenarios.
- State-of-the-Art Diagnostics: Digital fitting suites and advanced evaluation equipment ensure precision in every assessment.
“Our customers’ expectations have evolved; they want experiences that feel personal and empowering,” said Mr. Avinash Pawar, CEO and Managing Director of WSA India. “This centre removes misconceptions and makes hearing care feel simple and transparent.”
Personalized Technology: Signia & Widex
Central to the BestSound Centre’s mission is the belief that hearing is a deeply personal preference. To address this, the centre offers access to two world-leading brands:
- Signia: Utilizing frequency-domain technology, these devices are optimized for speech clarity in challenging, noisy group environments.
- Widex: Renowned for its time-domain technology, Widex focuses on delivering a natural, nuanced sound for everyday life.
By offering both specialized platforms, Ear 360 ensures that every client finds the specific technology that resonates with their unique auditory profile.
Commitment to the Community
Mr. Samit Verma, Founder & CEO of Ear 360, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration: “This partnership brings world-class audiological expertise to the heart of Bangalore. We’ve built a space that encourages exploration, and we look forward to serving our community with a genuinely different kind of care.”
Moving forward, the centre plans to host regular community education programs and hearing awareness events to promote early diagnosis and normalize the use of hearing technology in urban India.
