History

SAE Hearing AS was established in June 2018 in Oslo, Norway and registered as Minuendo AS in March 2019.[3] In addition to employees, the largest owners as of April 2019 are AF Group and OBOS through Construct Venture,[4] SINTEF Venture V,[5] StartupLab Founders and Halden Municipal Pension Fund.

The company is a commercial spin-off from SINTEF, one of Europe's largest independent research organizations through their Technology Transfer Office (TTO). In part funded by the FORNY[6] program from the Research Council of Norway, a new technology for Hearing protection devices was developed from 2015 to 2018 forming the core of Minuendo's IP.

The acoustical science group at SINTEF has a history developing advanced hearing protection technologies, earlier commercialized through Nacre AS. Nacre was acquired by personal protection equipment supplier Sperian in 2007,[7] which in turn was acquired by Honeywell in 2010.
