BHI Redesigns Hearing Healthcare Professional Resources on their Website

July 18, 2011 - Since the opening of the new BHI in 2005 the resources for hearing healthcare professionals has grown dramatically on the BHI website. Many of the public relations tools on the BHI website are designed to help audiologists and hearing instrument specialists promote their practice at a local level in line with our national public relations campaigns. On the hearing healthcare professional website we continue with our four core areas: HHP resources, physician referral program, celebrity referral and peer mentoring program.

To make resources for hearing healthcare professionals more accessible the HHP resources section is now accessible by clicking on an icon in 19 areas:

• Videos (e.g. tour of the ear)
  
• Instruments (e.g. MarkeTrak survey)
  
• Public relations campaigns ( e.g. diabetes, men's health week)
