Amplifon Americas Breach Exposes Data of 1.3 Million People

Amplifon Hearing Health Care disclosed a data breach affecting Amplifon Americas, the Minneapolis-based eastern arm of the Italian hearing-health group Amplifon. Hackers breached its internal systems in January 2026 and copied files between 18 January and 8 February. Amplifon says it contained the incident promptly and launched an investigation, but it took eight months to review the stolen data and determine that personal information was potentially affected.

The company’s notice lists the types of data involved, including names, contact details, driver’s licence numbers and other government IDs, dates of birth, hearing and medical information, dates of service, other health information and health insurance information; for some individuals, Social Security numbers and financial information were also accessed.

Amplifon Americas’ filing with the Texas Attorney General’s Office reportedly indicates a nationwide impact of 1,332,826 individuals. SecurityWeek has sought additional comment from Amplifon regarding the breach’s impact and confirmation of affected records and will update the article if the company responds. Amplifon states that it is not aware of any fraudulent use of personal information as a result of the incident. Amplifon claims to serve over 80 million members through a nationwide network of clinics.

The article notes the breach occurred across Amplifon Americas, with the incident timeline and the nature of the compromised data detailed in Amplifon’s breach notice and regulatory filing.
