What's New from Oticon - Fall 2018
Presented by Annette Mazevski, AuD, PhD and Kelly Stahl, AuD
Consumers are changing and are more demanding than ever before when it comes to the delivery of health care. To minimally meet their needs, hearing care professionals must approach the hearing care process differently than we do today. In this course, attendees will examine how new Oticon products and fitting solutions are designed to not only meet and/or exceed patients expectations, but also result in increased practice differentiation.
