“You can’t just take a hearing aid out of the box and put it on.”
"It’s one thing to have excellent technology," says Stacey. "And Phonak certainly does. But", she says, "creating the technology solutions is the beginning of the process, not the end. It’s no good to anyone if they just buy our hearing aids and never use it,” she says. “The person using it has to understand the benefits. Which means the Hearing Care Professionals need to know it inside and out, too."
