AI has transformed some industries overnight. Now - AI has come for hearing aids and audiology. Meet Whisper, the new hearing system that gets better over time. Traditional hearing aids don’t upgrade themselves.
To meet the needs and challenges of children and young people with hearing loss, the Ida Institute announced that it is now further expanding its pediatric offering with two new resources: My Hearing Explained for Children and the University Course module, Extending Person-Centered Care to Families and Children.
