AuDNet launches Lyric ® Hearing training program for members and qualified licensed audiologists
America’s Audiology Network partners with InSound Medical, Inc. to train leading U.S.-based audiologists on fitting, programming, and marketing the world’s first 100% invisible hearing aid directly to patients
Los Angeles (November 2, 2010) – AuDNet, Inc. in partnership with InSound Medical, Inc. has announced the launch of an select Lyric® Hearing training program, which seeks to educate AuDNet members and licensed audiologists about the advantages of Lyric® technology as well as best practices for marketing the device to patients.
The training program, spearheaded by Dr. Gregory Frazer, AuD, PhD, Director of Audiology at Los Angeles, California-based Pacific Eye and Ear Specialists, will offer one-to-one training with a handful of qualified AuDNet audiologists whose practices cater to patients seeking “higher-end” hearing loss solutions.
Developed by ENT physicians and audiologists, Lyric® was built around three key concepts that hearing professionals have known for years:
o Sound quality improves with proximity to the tympanic membrane.
o Many people with hearing loss are dissatisfied with their hearing aid options.
o Consumers desire a hassle-free, invisible solution.
“Having spent over three years learning how to best fit and program the Lyric®, while also having the opportunity to hear from patients as to what they like about the device, I’m excited to finally have the platform to share my knowledge with other audiologists,” remarked Dr. Frazer. “I truly believe that InSound has created a high-value, high-quality product that gives patients a sense of freedom and satisfaction unmatched by traditional hearing aid devices.”
The Lyric® Hearing training program, open to AuDNet member audiologists, will be available through December 31, 2010. For more information about the program call 800-308-7290 or email: DSmriga[at]AuD-Net.com.
