history
Paula Neuroth, who herself suffered from hearing loss from birth , received a 20 kg table hearing aid from her husband during a business trip. Back in Vienna she decided to give the same help to other fellow sufferers.
On December 13, 1907, Paula Neuroth and her husband Johann August Neuroth founded the first “specialist house for hearing aids”. The shop on Mariahilfer Straße is still the location of a Neuroth specialist institute today. Since the couple Paula and Johann August Neuroth remained childless, their nephew August Carl Neuroth joined the company in 1927 and received it.
After the death of her father in 1979 Waltraud Schinko-Neuroth took over the management of the company. At that time, Neuroth had eight employees. In 2003 the first hearing center was opened in Switzerland, and in 2008 Neuroth opened up the Slovenian market. The opening of the first listening center in Croatia followed in 2011. In 2013 the company expanded to Germany and France. The Neuroth Group has had its corporate headquarters in Graz since 2013. The former long-standing headquarters of the family company in Schwarzau in the Schwarzautal (Southeast Styria) has been expanded into a Europe-wide technology and logistics center.
In September 2019, the company management announced that the plant located at the Schwarzau site in the Schwarzautal (Southeast Styria) would be relocated to a future location to be determined with good transport links near Leibnitz or Graz by 2021. At the new location in a central location in Styria, the technology and logistics center could be expanded significantly and designed flexibly for future requirements. On February 12, 2020 it was announced that the move to Lebring, to the former headquarters of Photovoltaic, should take place by summer and with all 190 employees.
In October 2011 Waltraud Schinko-Neuroth handed over the management of the company to her youngest son, Lukas Schinko, who has been CEO of Neuroth AG since then. The company is now in the fourth generation of the family.
