Natus Medical Incorporated (NASDAQ:NTUS) (the “Company” or “Natus”), a provider of medical device solutions focused on the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous and sensory system disorders for patients of all ages, announced that Starkey Hearing Technologies is now equipped to receive images from Otoscan, a digital ear scanning solution, as input to manufacture customized hearing aid solutions.
“Today marks another important milestone for our customers and all of us at Natus,” said Austin Noll, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Natus. “The Otoscan community of supporting manufacturers is further expanded with the addition of Starkey Hearing Technologies, which represents an essential achievement for the future success of the product. Our ambition all along is to have members join the Otocloud community to bring a complete offering to hearing care professionals.”

According to Natus, the program will be rolled out gradually in close collaboration between local parties in markets where Otoscan is already commercially available.

“We’re excited about joining the Otoscan community. Their technology supports Starkey’s strategic ambitions for a digitized workflow and an optimized infrastructure that will allow us to serve our customers even better in the future,” said Chris Hillman, Chief Operations Officer at Starkey Hearing Technologies.

Developed by hearing care professionals for hearing care professionals

Otoscan is said to be designed specifically for the needs of audiologists and hearing aid dispensers selling and fitting custom hearing aids.

Otoscan helps enable hearing care professionals to make digital impressions for custom in-the-ear pieces such as earmolds and hearing aids. The scanner solution reportedly applies technology to transform images of the ear into 3D digital files that are then uploaded to Otocloud for use in production of custom products.

Otoscan is now commercially available in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, and Canada.
