Eye and Ear

Eye and Ear The Vision Hearing Alliance: 1-888-4EYEEAR (4393327) We channel multidisciplinary teamwork to deliver better outcomes for patients. Through collaboration, our partners provide greater public accessibility and affordability in hearing care. Our goal is that patients will experience healthier aging and greater wellbeing as a result. Government deregulation has allowed for hearing aids to be dispensed outside of the traditional audiology practice. With the development of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids, patients have more autonomy in assessing their hearing, monitoring how their hearing devices are working, and adjusting their own hearing aids, indicating that we are in a new era of patient-driven care. Nonetheless, the need for professional involvement can not be underestimated. Our optical partners are trained through our EyeCanHear Certification in how to clean, service, and troubleshoot OTC hearing aids resulting in greater satisfaction over online retailers. Our strategy expands the reach of trained dispensers through our Eye and Ear partner network. Although we package hearing care solutions specifically designed for optical practices, our goal is to channel business to our audiology partners who register with us. We foster a strong collaborative program in which patients are referred to our state-licensed audiology partners as FDA and state laws require. Audiologists benefit from partnering with optometrists by receiving leads for those requiring extensive testing and fitting expertise. This collaboration champions professional care from audiologists and optometrists alike. We play a key role in maintaining a vibrant patient-provider relationship in contrast to the growing online model. Join us to support your local professionals and build a new vision in hearing care.
