Elite Hearing Network to train clinicians on effective tinnitus treatment.
Bethlehem, Pa., July 17, 2012 - Elite Hearing Network has chosen Neuromonics, Inc., as its tinnitus treatment provider of choice.
Through the agreement, Neurmonics will make training in the use of Neuromonics' products and treatment protocols available to all 800 Elite clinicians nationwide. The Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment is a particularly effective treatment protocol delivered through its easy-to-use Oasis device. The device is the FDA-cleared, patented and clinically proven medical device with documented long-term, significant tinnitus relief.
The Oasis device looks like a small consumer music player and works by desensitizing the patient's tinnitus perception. The patient wears the device for a prescribed number of hours on a daily basis, listening to soothing music that audiologists customize to each person's unique hearing profile. A recent independent study shows that more than 90 percent of patients who use the treatment experience a significant reduction in tinnitus.
"Neuromonics products and treatment have proven to be among the most effective ways to treat tinnitus on a long-term basis," says Paul Harkness, vice president of Elite Hearing Network. "This agreement will bring a greater level of tinnitus education, awareness and treatment options to our entire network."
Curtis Amman, vice president of marketing and sales for Neuromonics, echos Harkness' sentiments. "In working with Elite Hearing Network, we can effectively deliver relief to thousands more tinnitus sufferers around the country." He explains that the Neuromonics Tinnitus Treatment reduces hypersensitivity and annoying environmental sounds - all by allowing the user to enjoy music, without constant distraction of their tinnitus. "Partnering with Elite allows more providers and more consumers to hear the good news - literally - about tinnitus relief."
