Westone Launches Greater Than Campaign to Educate Hearing Professionals on Advantages of Using Custom RIC Earpieces
(firmenpresse) - COLORADO SPRINGS, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/27/12 -- Westone Laboratories, Inc., the industry leader in custom hearing instrument earpieces, has launched its Greater Than campaign to educate hearing professionals on the significant advantages to using a custom earpiece for receiver-in-the-canal hearing instruments.
"Receiver-in-the-canal hearing instruments offer patients a discreet and appealing amplification solution, but a one-size-fits-all earpiece is not always the answer when fitting this type of hearing instrument," explains Christine Maré Au.D., CCC-A, FAAA, Westone Director of Hearing Healthcare.
"As hearing professionals, we strive to provide best practices for our patients. Custom earpieces for receiver-in-the-canal hearing instruments allow us to give our patients more venting options, improved gain and better retention -- all while preserving comfort and cosmetic appeal."
In support of the hearing professional, Westone will be offering several tools to assist in selecting the best custom earpiece for receiver-in-the-canal hearing instrument fittings. Westone has developed a comprehensive array of educational materials and will be offering a workshop to industry professionals titled "A Comprehensive Review of Receiver-in-the-Canal (RIC) Earpieces" at AudiologyNow this March in Boston*. Additional resources to be rolled out in the next few months include a new website and "quick start guide." These tools will make it easier for the professional to fit the right earpiece the first time.
"To support our education efforts and offer clinicians the ability to offer the best practices possible to their patients, Westone has developed a suite of products that draw on over 52 years of experience with custom fit solutions for the ear. Our new RIC earpieces utilize the latest in 3D modeling, advanced silicone casting techniques and additive manufacturing to address all of the drawbacks of a generic dome," says Damon Boyce Au.D., FAAA, Staff Audiologist Westone Laboratories.
Westone custom receiver-in-the-canal hearing instrument earpieces are available in many different styles and are custom manufactured to the exact specifications of not only a patient's anatomy but to the hearing instrument receiver itself. Westone offers several different materials including proprietary medical grade OtoBlast™ silicone and exceptionally discreet DisappEar acrylic.
*Damon Boyce, Au.D., FAAA will present at AudiologyNow 2012 in Boston, Friday, March 30th from 3:15-4:15 in room 206A
