HearAtLast Holdings Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HRAL) is pleased to announce
the development and introduction of a new and interactive screening
test for hearing. The newly developed interactive screen test has
greatly enhanced an individual's ability to; at their own pace;
quickly determine whether or not they require a full test by a
Hearing Specialist.
Some people are hesitant to take that first step to finding out
whether or not they may need a hearing aid. The new device; which
is in the form of a standup kiosk or a desktop model can be used in
locations such as medical offices or pharmacies; will enable the
user to perform a simple, non-invasive self administered
evaluation. The desktop models can sit comfortably in a small area
away from traffic in a pharmacy, doctor's waiting room or other
relatively quiet areas frequented by people.
Subsequent to finding out whether they may require further
evaluation, a person simply enquires with the reception to make an
appointment or ask the doctor for a location nearby for a certified
test. "We feel that because of the large numbers of people who have
yet to address any hearing problem because of the inconveniences,
these interactive hearing test models should ultimately increase
the patient flow to our clinics," commented Matthew Sacco,
President and CEO of HearAtLast Holdings.
The desktop models and kiosks have been developed by VitaSound
and more importantly as a collaboration with medical professionals
where it has been determined that this method of screening will
also be a great tool to assist a doctor in assessing what course of
action may be needed. The test is a relatively comprehensive
screening mechanism that covers a range of frequencies and in most
cases isolates deficiencies in any particular range. The units are
sleek and user friendly and when placed in strategic locations,
will also prove to be an important lead generator for all nearby
HearAtLast Hearing Store locations as well as HearAtLast licensed
stores. According to a report from Johns Hopkins, there are 26.7M
Americans age 50 or older that have a hearing loss and 23M have
untreated hearing loss. HearAtLast is trying to bridge that gap so
that people with untreated loss have a more convenient system of
self assessment which is the first step in addressing that loss.
People will be able to access these units in a no pressure
environment; self test at their own pace and this eases them into
asking for professional help to correct their hearing impairment,
if present.
