Clear information starts with clear sources.
876 real centre records. 10 EU countries. A useful starting sample, with no claim of complete coverage.
Where the records come from
484 entries come from OpenStreetMap objects tagged as hearing-aid shops. We kept named entries with a source-provided street and city inside the selected markets. Country assignment uses coordinates and public geographic boundaries. The remaining 106 records come from Audika’s published Danish and Swedish location directories.

What “retrieved” means
26 September 2026 is our retrieval date, not a promise that each source was updated that day. We have not contacted the listed centres. Telephone numbers, opening times, prices, availability and services can change. Contact the centre before visiting.
Inclusion and deduplication
Profiles require a business name, street, city and source link. Source duplicates sharing a normalized provider, street and city are removed. Copenhagen postal districts are grouped under København while the original postal locality is retained on the profile. No missing phone numbers, coordinates, photos, opening times, services, ratings or appointment slots are invented.

Denmark and Sweden are currently single-provider samples. Other markets reflect OpenStreetMap coverage and completeness. Low record counts are not evidence of few hearing centres in a country.
Commercial and verification status
All real records are Basic and unclaimed. No payment affects their order. “Verified” on a future partner profile will require documented business confirmation. No paid placement or clinical endorsement is implied by a listing.
Data reuse
The downloadable OpenStreetMap-derived subset is available under ODbL 1.0 with attribution to OpenStreetMap contributors. Provider-sourced factual records are separately identified; no blanket licence over provider content is asserted. Marketing copy and provider photographs were not imported.
