Data Breaches

Amplifon Americas Data Breach Impacts 1.3 Million

Hackers stole personal, health, and insurance information, including Social Security numbers, from the company’s internal systems.

Data breach

Amplifon Hearing Health Care has disclosed a data breach impacting the information of more than 1.3 million individuals in the US.

The incident involves Amplifon Americas, the Minneapolis-based arm of the Italian hearing healthcare giant Amplifon, which claims to serve over 80 million members through a nationwide network of thousands of clinics.

According to Amplifon Americas’ data breach notice, hackers broke into its internal systems in January 2026 and copied files from certain systems between January 18 and February 8.

Although it immediately contained the incident and launched an investigation into the attack, Amplifon needed eight months to review the stolen data and determine that personal information was potentially affected.

The review concluded that names, contact information, driver’s license numbers, other government ID numbers, dates of birth, hearing and medical information, dates of service, other health information, and health insurance information were compromised.

For some individuals, Social Security numbers and financial information were also stolen, the company says.

“We are not aware of any fraudulent use of personal information as a result of this incident,” Amplifon notes.

Amplifon’s filing with the Texas Attorney General’s Office reportedly mentions a total of 1,332,826 people being affected nationwide.

SecurityWeek has emailed Amplifon for additional information on the data breach and confirmation on impact and will update this article if the company responds.
