Eden Prairie-based Starkey Hearing Technologies will not renew its discount program with the National Rifle Association.
A tweet from Starkey says it has requested the NRA remove the hearing aid company's information from the NRA's website.
A handful of companies have ended discount programs with the NRA. The group has resisted calls for stricter gun control after a gunman killed 17 people at a Florida high school this month.
Starkey's decision comes as petitions continue to circulate online targeting companies that offer discounts to NRA members. Several companies, including Delta Airlines and United Airlines, have already cut ties with the NRA.
Members of the NRA have access to special offers from partner companies on its website, ranging from life insurance to wine clubs.
