(NASHVILLE, Tenn.)---HearingPlanet.com, a new Internet portal for individuals with hearing loss, offers an economic state-of-the-art solution for its patients through its vast network of hearing healthcare providers. Launched in February by company president Doug Hudson, HearingPlanet.com has already enrolled more than 500 affiliate providers to cover territories throughout the United States.
HearingPlanet.com provides a wide scope of products and services designed to improve the lives of the hearing impaired, such as hearing instruments through a direct purchase program campaign ''A Whole New Way to Buy Hearing Aids''. The company utilizes its network of affiliated hearing healthcare providers to evaluate patient hearing loss and dispense hearing instruments at a substantially reduced cost to the patient.
''We are essentially a service aggregator with a ''clicks and mortar'' approach to capturing business that has been overlooked by the traditional methods of marketing in the hearing healthcare industry,'' said Hudson. ''Since launching last month, the response to our web site has been tremendous and our network continues to grow daily, which confirms the need for an online entity for hearing healthcare providers to align themselves with. Our research shows that more than 105,000 unique searches are performed on a monthly basis for hearing aid keywords and that the number of seniors on the Internet has grown from 600,000 in 1996 to an excess of 10 million in 1999. Forward thinking hearing healthcare professionals know this and want to secure their place with our organization to help them capture business from patients seeking information about hearing healthcare on the Internet.''
HearingPlanet.com is in the process of enrolling additional hearing healthcare providers to become part of its network. By enrolling in the network, each member affiliate receives a protected territory and receives patient flow from HearingPlanet.com. There is no fee to become a member of their network. For information about enrolling as an affiliate, visit the web site at www.hearingplanet.com or call 1-800-866-6240.
HearingPlanet.com refers patients to one of its network affiliate healthcare providers to evaluate the degree of hearing loss, make ear impressions and suggest appropriate hearing instruments. All hearing aids purchased through HearingPlanet.com are shipped directly from the manufacturer to the network professional with a minimum one-year factory warranty. All sales are guaranteed by a 45 day 100% money back policy.
HearingPlanet.com will soon be bringing other services and resources to their network members to assist them in making their existing traditional patient flow more profitable. For example, the soon to be released Hearing Instrument Financing service will allow network members access to capital for not only HearingPlanet.com patients but also their traditional patient flow by allowing them to complete an on-line credit application on behalf of the patient and electronically submit the application to an affiliated lender.
HearingPlanet.com offers an extensive number of products and services for individuals with hearing loss in addition to hearing aids.
Hudson launched HearingPlanet.com following a five-year stint with J.C. Bradford & Co., a regional investment bank with headquarters in Nashville. He designed, developed and implemented www.jcbradford.com and www.bondtools.com while working for the company. He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management.
HearingPlanet.com is located in Cummins Station, 209 10th Avenue South, Suite 345 in Nashville, Tennessee. The company web site address is www.hearingplanet.com.
