Brand of the Month:
This month, Hearing Aids 1000 took a long look at Unitron. We have a very good section on Unitron already on our site so this feature will take a closer look at the company itself. Unitron is truly a global company, this is seen immediatey on their website: www.unitronhearing.com. The first page is a world map with list of ten or so countries where Unitron is active.
Clearly, Unitron is focused on hearing and hearing aid manufacturing on a worldwide scale. Another noticeable item on the first page is the mission statement of Unitron. While mission statements are made to be generic on purpose, I still believe a great deal can be inferred from them. And the message on this one (and something I believe) is that Unitron is truly committed to bettering the lives of people with hearing loss.
Diving into the United States section and I'm immediately drawn to the section for 'children and parents.' This is a great section aimed at helping both children with hearing loss and the parents or guardians who have children that are using hearing aids or have hearing loss. Unitron wins real points with me with this section and the 'Kids Club' section within. This is a fun area with games and more for kids. It is almost impossible to make hearing loss fun but Unitron at least tries to take some of the edge off.
The research and development section of the site is extremely limited. I was hoping for more insight into how this process works. Unitron should either add to this section or remove it entirely. As it is now, it doesn’t help.
Lastly, a quick look at Unitron's latest development: 'Yuu.' Though the name is confusing (did I mean to write "You"? No, it's "Yuu"), the prodcuct is great. In fact, while I'm not a big fan of hyperbole and the word "cool" is overused, this is COOL. Yuu is a US based product and website for both people who wear hearing aids and hearing aid professionals. Yuu is the first interactive and automated hearing solution (according to the Unitron site). The device somehow receives feedback from the person wearing it and reacts and learns accordingly. If any of our users have any experience with Yuu can you please write me an email about it? I would love to know how well this works.
Unitron is a clearly a leader in the hearing loss space. They somehow manage to be global company while simultaneously keeping an eye out for the individual. Good stuff!
