A Sonova-owned company that is a leader in hearing loss care has reached a tentative settlement with a former janitor who alleged she was forced to resign in 2024 because management ignored her complaints that a male lab employee was constantly staring at her and making lewd comments.

Identified only as Jane Doe, the plaintiff also contended in her Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit filed against Advanced Bionics Corp. that her tormenter warned her that he had a gun in his car and that he in turn accused Doe of stalking and being sexually aggressive with him.
