John Tracy Clinic Announces Vivosonic Hearing Diagnostics Partnership
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) May 21, 2015 -- John Tracy Clinic (JTC), a non-profit diagnostic and education center for young children with hearing loss, announced today a hearing diagnostic equipment partnership with Vivosonic, a manufacturer of hearing diagnostic measurement and newborn hearing screening device technologies.
With the support of Vivosonic, JTC’s Audiology Services Department has acquired a new Integrity V500 System. JTC’s audiology professionals provide comprehensive audiological evaluations to more than 2,500 infants and toddlers each year to determine whether or not they have a hearing loss. The Integrity V500 System will provide JTC’s audiologists with innovative auditory evoked response detection technology to help ensure their continued delivery of the highest level of diagnostic assessment services.
“Since JTC is a private non-profit provider, we are dependent on support from organizations, such as Vivosonic, for functional, reliable technology equipment that can keep pace with the high demand for our pediatric audiology services,” said Claire Sanchez, director, Audiology Services, JTC. “We are grateful to have the Vivosonic product and look forward to putting the latest technology to great use for the benefit of the infants, toddlers and their parents who depend on us for comprehensive, high quality results.”
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with John Tracy Clinic. They have used the Vivosonic Integrity V500 ABR system for many years and their new Integrity system will help provide ABR diagnostic services to many more families,” said Mike Schnekenburger, President and CEO, Vivosonic. “The equipment is infant and parent friendly. The Integrity V500 lets clinics perform assessments without sedation on awake, quiet patients or on patients in natural sleep. The unique technology and wireless capabilities allow caregivers to comfort and carry a child during testing to keep them calm and sleeping to facilitate a faster test result.”
