Amplifon Americas (Amplifon Hearing Health Care) data breach

What happened

Amplifon Americas, the Minneapolis-based US arm of Italian hearing care company Amplifon, says it detected suspicious activity on its network on February 11, 2026, and that an unauthorized third party obtained files from certain systems between January 18 and February 8, 2026. Its review, completed on October 6, 2026, found the files held names and contact information, dates of birth, driver's license or other state and government ID numbers, hearing and medical information, medical record numbers, dates of service and health insurance details; for a limited number of people, Social Security numbers or financial information were also involved. SecurityWeek reports that Amplifon's filing with the Texas Attorney General puts the total at 1,332,826 people nationwide; the company's own notice does not give a number. Amplifon says it is not aware of any fraudulent use of the data and is offering 24 months of free credit monitoring and identity protection to certain people, including those whose Social Security number or financial information was involved.

What should I do?

1. If you get a letter, enroll in the free 24-month credit monitoring and identity protection Amplifon offers; questions go to its call center at (844) 971-8634 (Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CST).
2. Review explanation-of-benefits statements from your health insurer and report hearing tests, devices or services you never received.
3. If your Social Security number may be involved, place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
4. Be wary of calls, emails and texts that mention your hearing care, insurance or appointments and ask for payment or personal details; contact Amplifon through its official website instead.
