Amplifon's Innovation Recognized at UX Design Awards E IF Design Awards

Apr. 29, 2026

Amplifon, the world leader in hearing care services and solutions, has won two international awards in the fields of design and user experience: the UX Design Awards and the iF Design Awards for OtoKiosk and the Amplifon App, digital solutions developed by AmplifonX, the Group’s Research and Development division. The UX Design Award was presented to OtoKiosk in the Product category. The iF Design Award, meanwhile, went to the Amplifon App in the Digital Media Interface category, and to OtoKiosk in the Health and Wellness User Experience category.

OtoKiosk is an iPad app developed by Amplifon, which is patented and certified by the CE and FDA, enabling high-precision audiometric testing even in louder environments such as events, shopping centers and pharmacies. The solution incorporates artificial intelligence technologies, using multilingual avatars to guide the user through the test, and predictive algorithms that optimize the process and improve the accuracy of the results, providing an immediate initial assessment of hearing health. OtoKiosk was also presented to the European Parliament as part of the “Hear the Future” initiative, during which it was used for screening and raising awareness of hearing loss prevention.

Amplifon App is a true digital hub for hearing health: not just a tool for managing hearing aids, but an integrated platform designed to support users throughout their entire care journey. Also, the app is no longer restricted to Amplifon’s hearing aid users; it offers anyone the opportunity to access basic audiometric screening via smartphone and informative content on prevention. Among its key features is a 24-hour virtual assistant powered by artificial intelligence. The app is already available in eleven countries: Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

The UX Design Awards were established in 2015 by the International Design Center Berlin and recognize products, services, environments and prototypes that provide solutions to real needs, significantly improving people’s lives through user-centered design. The iF Design Award is one of the world’s most prestigious competitions dedicated to creative excellence and honors design by bringing it to the attention of an international audience.

These achievements reinforce Amplifon’s position as a leader in the hearing healthcare sector, confirming the Group’s commitment to developing advanced digital solutions that can tangibly improve people’s quality of life. Along this journey, AmplifonX was supported by Design Group Italia, a multidisciplinary design studio that is part of Alkemy+, the creative division of the Alkemy Group.
