NewSound maintains that its EASYHEAR REMOTE CARE APP, released a year ago in China but only now being given an international launch, is ideal for audiologists' response to calls by both the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) for practices to provide patient support by phone and virtual communication.
"EASYHEAR carries out real-time data transmission from both initial unilateral hearing tests and user self-adjustment to the mid-point stage of bilateral asynchronous adjustment and synchronous adjustment between the user and the hearing expert," says NewSound.
The company boasts widespread input and support throughout its independent development of the project since 2016. It claims that Professor Xin Xi from the Advisory Board, Audiology Development Foundation of China, and specialist at the People's Liberation Army Hospital, Beijing, is currently engaged on "a clinical evaluation of the activities of 20 users with NewSound on its OTC Hearing Aid and EASYHEAR App".
