NOWiHEAR Audiologists Treat Hearing Impairment and Gain Recognition at Their Hearing Centers
The market for treating hearing impairment is expanding, and as a result, the number of corporate hearing centers is increasing. Across the country corporate interests are buying up independent practices, often stripping them of important diagnostic capabilities, and staffing their new hearing centers with non-audiology staff. NOWiHEAR is working to turn back the tide of cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all hearing impairment care offered through corporate hearing centers. Our goal is to unite independent audiologists to increase patient awareness and demand for the high quality, personal care that only university-trained audiologists can provide. We believe that by working as a team, independent audiologists can become a driving market force that keeps quality patient care at the forefront.

The NOWiHEAR Mission
NOWiHEAR's mission is to "Unite audiologists nationwide to achieve brand recognition and create demand for audiology care." You, the audiologist, trained six to eight years or more at a university to become the very best hearing impairment care provider possible. Unfortunately, your accomplishments and skills may be going unnoticed by consumers because of the blitz of slick corporate hearing aid centers that often emphasize hearing aid prices over quality patient care. NOWiHEAR recognizes this challenge and works diligently to promote audiology as its own BRAND. Through skilled marketing and the combined efforts of concerned NOWiHEAR-member audiologists throughout the United States, NOWiHEAR seeks to educate consumers that only with a trained audiologist can they receive the high quality, comprehensive hearing impairment care they need and deserve. By promoting your professional degree, your training, and your unique qualifications, NOWiHEAR will help you achieve the recognition you deserve and create consumer demand for your professional services and care.
NOWiHEAR — Providing a National Branding Network
In a recent article in Audiology Today, former NOWiHEAR CEO Kathy Foltner stated that: "regardless of work setting, every audiologist has a professional responsibility to not only understand their value, but also how each individual audiologist's situation contributes to the perception the world holds about audiologists." NOWiHEAR is the national home for independent hearing centers and audiologists that are ready to take a stand for themselves and their profession.
