REMOVING BARRIERS TO HEARING LOSS TREATMENT

Amptify’s hearing health platform allows us to differentiate our Sontro Hearing Aids in the market and to provide incredible value as compared to the customary offerings which focus on support of the device and not the person,” said Anthony Florek, President of Soundwave Hearing. “Hearing loss doesn’t stop at the ears, and it's a priority of ours to ensure that each and every customer receives access to comprehensive, best-practice care which includes audiologic rehabilitation beyond the device.”

INTEGRATING THE SONTRO OTC HEARING AIDS AND AMPTIY INTO CLINICAL PRACTICE

The Sontro Hearing Aid was designed to partner with the audiology community specifically for Tested-not-Treated (TNT) patients.  The Sontro Hearing Aid can be positioned as a starter hearing aid, part of a provider’s cabinet solution to keep TNT patients in the practice ecosystem and their purview of care.  The Sontro Hearing Aid combined with the Amptify DTx is an ideal solution for younger, first time hearing aid users and patients with mild to moderate hearing loss.
