About this Webinar:
This Soundbite Webinar provide a unique opportunity to connect leaders in adult hearing loss research (NAL) and innovation around person centred care in hearing health (Ida). We will discuss the value of our partnership couched around two research studies using Ida tools. The benefits of the pre-assessment Telecare tools will be presented alongside the planned My Hearing Explained study that provides a new way of sharing hearing test results in a person centred manner. Come join our live discussion on Soundbites.
