The new Unitron Hearing France office in Lyon will provide a complete range of hearing products and services and offer technical support, local consulting and training services. Paul-Michel Vahanian will have the primary responsibility of broadening Unitron Hearing's digital products through the introduction of new product offerings, and heightening Unitron Hearing's brand and presence across France. The France office complements Unitron Hearing's company offices in Canada, Germany, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and the United States.
"The establishment of Unitron Hearing France is a step forward for Unitron Hearing in Europe," commented Michael Jones, President and CEO, Unitron Hearing. "Our direct presence allows us to offer enhanced operational support to the French market and focus our efforts on introducing new hearing instrument manufacturing technologies in France."
The French hearing healthcare market, known for its high adoption of digital hearing solutions, desire for ergonomic, esthetically pleasing style options, and investment in advanced fitting techniques is a perfect fit with Unitron Hearing. The France facility will offer a full digital product line, a new aerodynamic Behind-the-Ear (BTE) design, and a full range of custom hearing aids. Unitron Hearing's Unifit™ fitting software is a remarkably intuitive fitting process designed to increase first-fit acceptance and allows hearing healthcare professionals the added flexibility to fine-tune as much — or as little — as they want.
According to Paul-Michel Vahanian, General Manager, Unitron Hearing France, "Unitron Hearing France will offer a very complete range of 100% digital solutions with Liaison™, Conversa™ and Unison™ product families. Liaison, our latest digital hearing system, incorporates fully automatic, sophisticated features within a single program and also includes the popular realtime feedback canceller and ClearCall technologies. In addition, our new Behind-the-Ear (BTE) shell design successfully combines cosmetic appeal, technology, and ergonomics."
In addition to the new office in Lyon, Unitron Hearing products and services will continue to be available in France through Audika, a recognized and successful Unitron Hearing distributor for nearly 20 years.
