Gardner Audiology is first and foremost an evidence-based practice. The choices we make, the products we choose, and the methods we use to fit hearing aids are all based on research we have conducted with thousands of patients. We verify benefits of new technology by having patients compare hearing in different listening situations.
Gathering this information allows us to see where the hearing aid manufacturers are succeeding in technology and where further improvement is needed. We share this information with the manufacturer. Sometimes it results are a pat on the back for them and sometimes it results in “we really could use more help here!” Either way, most companies appreciates the feedback.
Lastly, the studies help eliminate barriers preventing trial use of hearing aids. By participating in a study, in exchange for an opinion, a person can wear a set of hearing aids out in their life to see how they will hear and manage using hearing aids.
At Gardner Audiology, we are dedicated to improving lives with the best possible hearing through compassion, innovation, and expertise in all aspects of hearing healthcare.
