## Resource

Lucas and Luna dive into a surprising roll-up target: hearing aid dispensaries. With the OTC hearing aid rule from 2022 finally reshaping the market, private equity sees a fragmented $8 billion industry ripe for consolidation. They break down how firms like Audibel and HearingLife are being acquired by larger platforms, the demographics driving demand, and why the average cost of a pair of hearing aids—$4,600—creates both opportunity and scrutiny. A focused look at what happens when PE meets audiology. #PrivateEquity #HearingAids #HealthcareInvesting #RollUp #Audibel #HearingLife #OTCHeaingAids #Demographics #Consolidation #BusinessAcquisition #HealthcareRollUp #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow #Audiology #SilverEconomy #HealthcarePE #MergerAndAcquisition Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
