November 9th is National Microtia Awareness Day!

National Microtia Awareness Day is November 9th! Think of the number 9 as the shape of an ear.

NMAD was established by the Ear Community Organization five years ago to help promote education and awareness about Microtia (missing and underdeveloped ears) & Aural Atresia (missing ear canals, resulting in hearing loss). Some of our children also have craniofacial microsomia (asymmetry of the jaw on one side causing a crooked smile). Our day is dedicated to educating the public about Microtia & Atresia in hopes that the next time someone sees a child or adult with missing ears that they just say “hi” instead of staring or asking questions.

Every November 9th honors children and adults who were born with Microtia & Atresia. After all, our children are perfect and beautiful in every way. Thank you for being kind!

Oticon Medical is pleased to announce the launch of its new blog, Hearing Implant Updates for Professionals, which will provide topics of interest to hearing healthcare and other medical professionals.

Oticon Medical has launched a new blog, Hearing Implant Updates for Professionals. The blog has been designed as an added way to engage Oticon Medical’s current and potential professional customers, and will provide topics of interest for hearing healthcare professionals and other medical professionals who wish to learn more about hearing implant solutions, clinical evidence related to bone anchored hearing treatments, and the latest product updates from Oticon Medical.

Hearing health topics scheduled for coverage

The initial blog posts will focus on the ten-year anniversary of Oticon Medical’s Ponto bone anchored hearing system. A new post will be scheduled for release monthly, with Clinical Training Manager Carissa Moeggenberg, MA, CC-A serving as the primary author. Additionally, Oticon Medical plans to engage customers as well as clinical team members to serve as contributing blog post authors.

“We welcome feedback and topic suggestions from our professional customers and the audiology community,” Carissa said. “We want these articles to be informative, impactful and bring value to clinicians and other medical professionals who wish to learn more about the benefits of bone anchored hearing treatments and impart that knowledge to their patients.”

The inaugural two-part blog post on Hearing Implant Updates for Professionals focuses on ten years of delivering sound that matters. Part 1 highlights clinical evidence supporting the minimally invasive Ponto surgery (MIPS), a surgical procedure that offers an exclusive minimally invasive approach. The second part will focus on proven hearing excellence with the advanced technology incorporated into Ponto sound processors and ten years of excellent hearing results, summarized concisely.

The blog can be found here: www.hearingimplantupdatesforprofessionals.com.
