What do you see at the most important marketing trend or opportunity right now, and why?
Answer
I am most interested in the utilization of social media and multichannel retail by the 65+ generation. This demographic is currently the fastest growing group of social media users – however they tend to still shop more traditionally. We are starting to see this situation change and it will be interesting to see how it develops and how it impacts larger purchases like hearing solutions. This is an important audience for our industry. We are watching developments in social and mobile media to get ahead of the curve and generate awareness of hearing loss and hearing solutions that will motive 65+ consumers to take action and see a professional to address their hearing loss.

Two successful school-based peer support groups located in Alberta and Ohio have achieved these positive outcomes. Factors contributing to success were a leader-mentor model combined with student, audiologist and community mentors. Our aim with this work was to develop a template for a structured school-based support and resource program, that could guide school-based hearing care professionals on how to bring together students with hearing loss to share experiences, learn about education, advocacy, and living with hearing loss. A survey of North American school-based hearing professionals along with a review of the literature was completed. The aim was to explore structured peer programs, specific to students who are deaf or hard of hearing, and to understand the barriers and facilitators to developing and implementing these support programs.auditory, textual, visual129USDSubscriptionUnlimited COURSE Access for $129/yearOnlineOnlyAudiologyOnlinewww.audiologyonline.comSupporting Education, Advocacy and Knowledge for Students with Hearing LossAnecdotal evidence suggests that deaf and hard of hearing students benefit when involved in structured, supportive, peer-to-peer experiences.
