Question

Does Oticon Medical have the industry's widest bone-anchored frequency bandwidth?

Answer

Yes, Oticon Medical's frequency bandwidth is 38% wider than others on the market. With a wider and narrower bandwidth, patients with very good underlying cochlear function can make use of high-frequency information. Therefore it's important that we give them the high-frequency information because it increases clarity. This helps the brain to hear without expending energy from working memory to try and solve the gaps within the sound or the distortions within the sound.

In 2009 Laura began working commercially, and has been heavily involved in clinical support, audiological and surgical training as well as sales management and training across Europe and Asia Pacific.
