a lifetime of good hearing
This is how we realize our mission!
Life consists of a number of developmental stages, in which hearing plays a major role as one of our most important senses. To realize our mission ‘A lifetime of good hearing’ we have translated 4 phases into the product range. These phases make it easier to find the right solution for the customer and yourself.
phase 1 | preventive protection against noise and care of the ear
Hearing is vulnerable and can quickly be damaged by external influences. Therefore, make sure that it is properly protected with the right hearing protection. Hearing damage caused by noise and loud sounds can be prevented by wearing earplugs (custom-made) or earmuffs, for example. Read more
Not only protection but also care of hearing is important. An itchy or irritated ear canal can be remedied by using an oil. Excess wax can be removed by using an earscratcher or spray. As a professional, you will take ear impressions and inspect the ear. The instruments and items you need to do this, such as an otoscope, light pen, various types of impression materials and related accessories belong to phase 1.
phase 2 | solutions to an identified hearing problem in specific situations
Hearing problems are often first identified in specific situations. Conversations on television are difficult to understand, so they are turned up. Telephone conversations become more difficult because the volume is not loud enough and there is no support for lip image or facial expressions. Sleeping in becomes more the rule than the exception because the wake-up volume is insufficient. These are situations a person with impaired hearing has to deal with. Read more
In addition to earplugs against damage from loud noises, there are several other types of earplugs for different situations. Think of protection against water and wind or against the pressure on the ear in an airplane. There are different solutions for every situation. Think of a listening aid for amplifying speech on radio and television or an alarm clock with extra loud volume and vibrator. To hear incoming calls again and make conversations comfortably, there are telephones with extra loud ringer volume and amplification of speech volume. As a hearing care professional, you are indispensable to your client in this situation. Even if the result of a hearing test does not point exclusively toward a hearing aid or if your client is not yet ready to wear a hearing aid.
Phase 3 | adjustment and maintenance of hearing devices
From the moment your client wears hearing aids, maintenance plays an important role. Regular maintenance of hearing devices leads to optimal functioning and a maximum service life. Read more
Maintenance includes cleaning and drying. In addition, the quality of (rechargeable) hearing battery also affects the performance of the hearing aid. With the right advice and assortment, you ensure that your client gets the best out of the hearing aids. If a client visits you for maintenance, this will include recalibrating the hearing aids or replacing sound tubes and domes. You can help your client efficiently and competently with equipment such as a vacuum cleaner, drilling and milling machines and the video otoscope.
phase 4 | external devices and accessories for hearing aids
Hearing aids can be combined with numerous devices and accessories to get the most out of hearing aids. This applies to both technology, protection and wearing comfort. Read more
For example, phone calls and music can be streamed directly to hearing aids with a "streamer" or other devices with a Bluetooth connection. To protect hearing aids from dirt, dust and moisture, there are special protective cases. These also protect against falling damage or losing the devices. When sleeping, hearing aids are usually not worn, so waking up from the alarm clock is often a problem. An alarm clock with vibration pad makes this problem a thing of the past.
professionalism | everything for a professional workplace setup
