NAL has released its annual impact report for 2022—outlining its achievements and contributions to the hearing care industry, and highlights the organization's active projects, collaborations, and key AI research.
WS Audiology announced it has appointed Malou Aamund and Adam Westermann to its Board of Directors, effective March 1, 2021.
The aim of this project was to investigate the barriers and facilitators between hearing aid users and face-to-face audiological services, in the period after hearing aid fitting, and to attempt to bridge that gap using new technology.
This clinical study shows that Signia’s AutoFit is both valid and reliable, and can be an efficient and useful tool in the verification of the hearing aid fitting via the new IMC2 standard.
