ADVANCE Pediatric Hearing Brochure Offers Tips on Protecting Children’s Ears

June 2, 2010 - PRLog -- ADVANCE for Audiologists, a national resource offering strategies for business profitability and growth to audiology professionals, and Oticon Pediatrics, a division of the oldest hearing aid manufacturer in the world, have partnered to offer an exclusive pediatric hearing brochure.

This great educational resource provides healthcare and education professionals with a valuable marketing tool to disseminate important information about children’s hearing health, helping parents understand how to:

•   Recognize noisy situations;
•   Determine strategies to prevent hearing loss;
•   Identify additional resources and much more.

Available exclusively at the ADVANCE for Audiologists website, http://audiology.advanceweb.com, a black-and-white digital version of the brochure can be downloaded for free, while printed color copies, which can be customized to include professional contact information, can be purchased for widespread distribution. The brochures should be shared with parents and local professionals or institutions that deal with children, such as pediatricians, family physicians, dentists, schools, churches, or scouting organizations.

“It’s estimated that more than five million children between the ages of 6 and 19 have noise-induced hearing loss,” says Judi Biederman, editor of ADVANCE for Audiologists. “The saddest part of that figure is that the hearing loss was preventable. There is a real need to educate parents and caregivers about the dangers of noise in our increasingly loud world so they can take appropriate steps to protect children’s
hearing before it is damaged.”

Oticon Pediatrics is committed to consistently delivering excellent products, service and support to pediatric hearing care professionals. ADVANCE for Audiologists is part of the ADVANCE family of healthcare media, offering a print magazine, electronic newsletter and website to inform, educate and support hearing professionals.
