REVOLUTIONIZING THE
AUDIOLOGY CLINIC
Quiet audiology exam rooms are nothing like real-world, challenging listening environments.
Immersive is bringing the real-world to the clinic using virtual demonstration technologies.
Immersive can help audiologists to:
INCREASE DEVICE ADOPTION RATES
DECREASE FOLLOW UP VISITS
CREATE A HIGH-END PATIENT EXPERIENCE
WELCOME TO THE CLINIC
OF THE FUTURE
For audiologists, patient counseling is very difficult because of one simple fact: it is very hard to describe sounds with words and diagrams alone. Our technology lets a patient directly listen to devices, in the location they report hearing difficulty, to enable direct, one-to-one conversations about the benefits of hearing aids.
Below, the video shows the benefit of switching to the 'Speech in loud noise' hearing aid program, letting a patient decide if premium devices are right for them.
A DYNAMIC TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
At Immersive, we know VR headsets aren't for everyone, especially older adults visiting an audiology clinic. That is why we build our technology on multiple hardware platforms, balancing between immersion and practicality.
Desktop computers offer familiarity and scalability across clinics. Click-and-drag or touch capabilities provide full immersion.
Large screens provide a high degree of immersion on common hardware for displays and digital signage.
Tablets can be held and rotated for full 360° head rotation. An engaging experience without requiring the use of head-worn VR displays.
VR headsets provide state-of-the-art immersion to best experience the benefits of a hearing aid.
THE IMMERSIVE ADVANTAGE
We create an experience just as if your patient were wearing hearing aids in their everyday life -- all while in the comfort and control of the clinic, with their audiologist as their tour guide.
REALISTIC AUDIO-VISUAL SCENES
Our novel virtual reality audio algorithm accurately maps every detail of a complex sound field to a hearing aid’s microphones. Paired with 360° visuals, our technology reinforces the sound to create an experience where the patient can easily test listening scenarios with hearing aids.
REAL-WORLD HEARING
Our goal is to produce engaging content that showcases the features and advantages of hearing aids.
​
Listen to friends talk at a busy restaurant, hear the choir sing at church, or watch your favorite TV show -- these are just some examples of the kinds of scenes you can visit with our system. We bring your patient's world to the clinic.
COLLABORATIVE DEVICE FITTING
Which do you like better, 1 or 2?
Now, just like at the eye doctor, Immersive Hearing Technologies allows patients to try and compare hearing aid features. This level of personalization and choice is only possible with Immersive's technology platform.
DEVICE INTEGRATION
Our technology seamlessly fits into the hearing aid fitting appointment by working directly with hearing aids on the market today, and can also be compatible with manufacturer fitting software and smartphone apps. Get the devices programmed for a patient's individual needs, and even train them on their phone app.
