Company Offers Customers the
Ability to Adjust Hearing Aids Online
PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 30, 2006 –
America Hears, the premier manufacturer and provider
of digital hearing aids over the Internet, offers its
customers the ability to adjust their hearing aids online
with an easy-to-use package of specialized software
and hardware, known as the Virtual Office. This innovative
service, which is included in the cost of all America
Hears hearing aids, saves customers time and money by
making it easy for America Hears to perform adjustments
over the Internet. In addition, more advanced customers
can adjust specific parameters themselves if they wish.
“By allowing customers to adjust their hearing
aids in the comfort of their own homes, we give control
back to them,” said Henry Smith, president of
America Hears. “Customers never have to take time
out of their schedule to visit an office, and they don’t
have to be without their hearing aid for any amount
of time. When they use this software, customers feel
like they are sitting right across the desk from the
audiologist, when in fact they may be thousands of miles
apart.”
“[America Hears] had provided me with software
and the hardware that was needed so that they could
make the adjustments in their office,” said satisfied
customer Bob Dygert, who was previously a sales rep
with two other major hearing aid manufacturers. “I
was able to hook up my hearing aid using the software
and the hardware that they’d provided, put the
new program in each hearing aid, and experience the
changes.”
When using America Hears’ Virtual Office software,
customers can administer hearing tests, request adjustments
to their hearing devices, and then download the adjustments
quickly and easily. America Hears provides the software
and specialized hardware to hook the hearing aid up
to the computer, and customers do not need to provide
any additional equipment beyond a computer and an Internet
connection. Customers can learn more about specific
system requirements by visiting www.americahears.com.
