Summary:
MLM Hearing has sold its 35 Canadian clinics to the newly formed, Canadian-led Reunion Hearing Group, allowing MLM to focus on U.S. expansion while Reunion aims to grow its presence under experienced leadership.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Reunion Hearing Group, led by Gino Chouinard and a seasoned team, has acquired MLM Hearing’s Canadian operations, comprising around 35 clinics.
  2. MLM Hearing will now concentrate on scaling its U.S. presence, where it already operates nearly 160 clinics under the Beltone brand.
  3. Both companies emphasize that the transition will benefit patients and providers, with Reunion committed to maintaining high clinical standards in Canada.

MLM Hearing LLC, a hearing healthcare platform operating under the Beltone brand, announced the successful divestiture of its Canadian operations to Reunion Hearing Group Inc., a newly formed, Canadian-led organization. The transaction includes approximately 35 clinics across Canada and marks a significant strategic move for both entities, according to MLM.

Reunion Hearing Group is led by industry veteran Gino Chouinard, who will serve as CEO. Chouinard has partnered with long-time collaborators Mike Curry, Rabih Safadi, and Tony Pontes—a team with a deep track record of success in hearing healthcare operations across Canada.

“This transition represents a win-win for both organizations and, more importantly, for the patients and providers we serve,” says Amir Hadar, co-founder and CEO of MLM Hearing. “With Reunion Hearing’s experienced Canadian leadership and unwavering commitment to clinical excellence, we are confident this team is ideally positioned to strengthen and grow the business across Canada.”

The divestiture reflects MLM Hearing’s sharpened focus on accelerating growth in the United States, where the company now operates nearly 160 clinics nationwide. The company’s U.S. expansion strategy is centered on acquiring and integrating best-in-class hearing healthcare clinics into a unified network aligned with the trusted Beltone brand.

“We are proud of the foundation we built in Canada and grateful to the exceptional professionals who made it possible,” adds Jonathan Weizman, MLM Hearing’s co-founder and president. “As MLM turns its full attention to U.S. growth, we’re excited to see our former Canadian team flourish under Reunion Hearing’s leadership.”
