Phonak Announces Global Brand Ambassador, Olympian Aaron Small

Stäfa, Switzerland, June 13, 2024 – Phonak, a leading global provider of life-changing hearing solutions, proudly welcomes first-time Olympian Aaron Small as an official Global Brand Ambassador ahead of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris. Aaron is dedicated to raising public awareness about hearing health, overcoming the stigma associated with hearing loss, and highlighting the importance of hearing devices. Additionally, he aims to inspire others and instill self-confidence, encouraging them to pursue their dreams as he has pursued his.

“It is an exciting time as the world prepares for competition this summer. Our partnership with Aaron highlights the convergence of hearing technology and sports, celebrating the values of perseverance, resiliency, and the pursuit of excellence that both worlds share,” said Oliver Frank, Vice President of Phonak Marketing. “Aaron’s hearing challenges have added dimensions to his life both in and out of the water, showcasing his adaptability and strength. At Phonak, we create innovative and high-performance hearing solutions that push the boundaries of technology, just as Aaron exemplifies high performance in his sport. Together, with all of our advocates and ambassadors, we envision a world where everyone can live a life without limitations.”

“Competing at the Olympics has been a dream of mine and I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to represent Team USA,” said Olympian Aaron Small. “Teaming up with Phonak and sharing my hearing loss story with others has also been an amazing step in this incredible journey. With my waterproof Audéo Life Lumity, I’ve been able to train with them on the water and better interact with everyone in my community. Now as a hearing health ambassador, I’m excited to be able to educate others about the importance of hearing health and to encourage the dreams and ambitions of the younger generation despite any limitations they believe are in their way.”
