NationsHearing Unveils New Consumer Hearing Healthcare Technology in the U.S. at CES® 2019

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/digitalhearingcenter?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#digitalhearingcenterlt;/agt;–NationsHearing, LLC., a leader in the hearing healthcare industry,
announced today it is debuting new hearing technology at CES—the world’s
largest and most influential technology event where next-generation
innovations are introduced to the marketplace.

NationsHearing is focused on a technology-driven and outcomes-based
hearing healthcare approach for consumers, patients, health plans,
partners and providers across all channels. The company’s mission is to
improve the overall health of people who have hearing loss. In order to
accomplish this important mission, NationsHearing has partnered with hearX
Group, a leader in disruptive mobile technologies in the detection
and prevention of hearing loss.

Together, they are bringing to market state-of-the-art hearing devices
and the latest technologies in tele-audiology services that make hearing
life again quick, convenient, simple and affordable for millions of
people who have hearing loss. Combining this with NationsHearing’s
proprietary outcomes interventions has created an ecosystem resulting in
a new dynamic in hearing healthcare.

Among the products NationsHearing will have on hand at CES are:

• A full tele-audiology solution that allows for end-to-end remote
  hearing assessments through selecting and providing appropriate
  hearing aids. Remotely adjusted hearing aids are fully supported.
• A full suite of hearing amplification devices that aid the entire
  spectrum of hearing loss, including next-generation,
  direct-to-consumer hearing aids (often referred to as “hearables” due
  to the convergence of traditional hearing aids with consumer product
  audio devices) through traditional hearing aids.
• The world’s first smartphone-based otoscope that uses artificial
  intelligence to look for common diseases of the ear and offers
  clinically validated diagnostic support.

In addition to providing hearing aids from most of the major hearing aid
manufacturers, NationsHearing is announcing that they are the exclusive
provider of all products designed, developed and manufactured by Olive
Union, a leader in next generation hearing aids and hearables that
use smart sound algorithms and Bluetooth technology.

Retail and health plan representatives can experience a Digital Hearing
Center in a sample store setting by taking a free hearing test at one of
the designated touchscreen monitors and receiving personalized results
via email in a matter of just minutes. In addition, CES attendees will
be able to experience a demonstration of NationsHearing’s tele-audiology
solution and other products.

Glenn M. Parker, M.D., Founder and CEO of NationsHearing, said, “We are
the first company in the hearing industry to use products, services,
technology, and interventions to improve health outcomes. This is an
exciting time for NationsHearing as we’ve revolutionized the way people
should think about hearing healthcare. We’re making available the latest
hearing healthcare solutions in the U.S. and globally.”

Nic Klopper, CEO of hearX Group, said, “We are excited about the
partnership with NationsHearing as both companies contribute
complementary skills required to disrupt the current hearing healthcare
service delivery model. Our industry-leading technologies, which include
artificial intelligence, tele-audiology, and clinical and hearing
screening tests, combined with the infrastructure of NationsHearing,
will revolutionize the way in which people experience hearing healthcare
services. We welcome you to the future of hearing healthcare.”

Owen Song, Founder and CEO of Olive Union, said, “We have always been
looking for a group of people who share the same vision as we do, and we
cannot express how excited we are to discover and work with
NationsHearing. We truly believe NationsHearing will fully deliver the
potential of next generation hearing aids and hearables as the exclusive
provider of Olive Union in the U.S.”

NationsHearing is taking bold steps to shift the paradigm and drive the
hearing industry in the U.S. by bringing together a team of visionaries
from the three companies who collectively have more than a century of
industry-defining experience deploying hearing products, services and
solutions across the globe.

NationsHearing is proud to be a Gold sponsor of CES 2019 and will be
