Sonova and its brands provide leading hearing technology for its customers.

Teaming up to rise to the Challenge! The 41st edition of the Challenge Roth, one of the world's premier triathlon events, brought together thousands of athletes and spectators for a truly memorable occasion. Among the competitors, three dedicated colleagues teamed up to proudly represent Sonova Group. Stephan Retzlaff, ANC Engineer from our Consumer Hearing business, took on the swimming discipline; Joël Einemann, Manager Indirect Tax for the Retail Business, powered through the cycling; and Neil Richardson, Senior Hearing Aid Audiologist for Boots Hearingcare in the UK, sprinted through the running segment. Together, they rose to the occasion, finishing an impressive 44th out of 258 male relay teams with a total time of 09:36:30 (Swim: 01:18:05, Bike: 05:22:04, Run: 02:52:07). As they crossed the finish line, joy, pride, and satisfaction washed over them, with Neil exclaiming, “It was a great team effort!” Congratulations to Stephan, Joël, and Neil for their remarkable performance! Their Challenge Roth journey showcased not only impressive athletic achievements but also incredible teamwork and unwavering determination. #ChallengeRoth2025 #Triathlon #Teamwork
