Rally Caps is not just another baseball movie—it's a powerful story about overcoming adversity, friendship, and authentic representation of hearing loss. In this episode, Shari Eberts speaks with Jodi Cutler, co-author of the book that inspired the film, and Lee Cipolla, the film's director. Rally Caps follows Jordy, a young baseball player with cochlear implants, and Lucas, his teammate and mentor who also has hearing loss. Together, they navigate the challenges of growing up, finding confidence, and bonding over their love of baseball. With support from Phonak and Advanced Bionics, the film integrates real hearing technology naturally into the storyline, offering a true-to-life portrayal of hearing loss in mainstream media. Cutler shares how her son's journey with hearing loss motivated her to create characters young audiences could relate to. Cipolla discusses the challenges of casting actors with real-life hearing loss, including Colton and Noelle Pride, who bring the characters to life with authenticity. Now streaming on Amazon and Apple TV, Rally Caps is breaking down stigma and sparking conversations, normalizing the experience of hearing loss on and off the screen.

Auf der IFA in Berlin trat schon Albert Einstein auf, und läutete Willy Brandt den Beginn des Farbfernsehens in Deutschland ein. In ihrer Geschichte begannen das Radio-Zeitalter und die Fernsehära. Doch längst hat sich die Messe weiterentwickelt und präsentiert eine breite Produktpalette von Smartphones über Fernseher, Küchengeräte und vieles mehr. Und natürlich soll auch in diesem Bereich häufig Künstliche Intelligenz den berühmten Unterschied ausmachen – ob ein Ofen nun die Rezepte erkennt oder ein Kühlschrank, ob irgendein Verfallsdatum abläuft. Was ist in diesem Jahr neu? Wie schlagen sich traditionsreiche Hersteller wie AEG, Miele oder Bosch? Und wie wettbewerbsfähig sind auch auf diesem Markt eigentlich die Chinesen? Aber all das sprechen wir in dieser Episode.

This may be a controversial one ... . .. but if you want to grow your practice, then it often requires you to spend your time working on the high pay-off activities where you're working ON the practice.

Host Andrew Bellavia takes us on an in-depth exploration of Phonak's latest hearing aid platform, Infinio, which features a number of benefits both for the HCP at fitting and for the end-user in daily life. The most exciting innovation is in the model named Sphere which incorporates a powerful deep neural network chip to perform speech and noise separation in an ear-worn device for the very first time. Andrew speaks with three key Phonak team members to go beyond the headlines while providing a basic overview of AI in hearing devices, and why Sphere is a seminal moment in hearing device innovation. Christine Jones, currently Senior Director of Marketing and VP Audiology at the time Infinio was kicked off, takes us through everything new across the range of products. Henning Hasemann, Director of Deep Learning Engineering and the person who led the team that developed the AI model in Sphere, describes how they remove noise in real time while maintaining natural sound across different languages, speaking styles, and environments, naming the specific benefit to hearing impaired people v. classical acoustic methods employed in hearing devices today. Then Stefan Launer, VP of Audiology and Health Innovation, provides additional context on the broader implications of this innovation for the future of hearing care, offering a glimpse into how AI and sophisticated engineering are set to redefine the possibilities in hearing technology across a continuum of needs.

We're often the rainmaker in the practice, managing staff, buying the coffee, dealing with roof leaks, and ensuring the financial health of the practice. With limited time, it's crucial to decide what tasks you should focus on and what you should delegate. In this episode, we discuss the five major tasks you're probably doing right now that you should delegate. Best of all, we highlight how to use the extra time effectively by identifying activities that generate $1,000 per hour and $10,000 per hour.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP In this episode of Life in the Peloton I get to have a chat with one of the most interesting (and interested) people I've met in the world of cycling, co-founder of Skratch Labs, Allen Lim. Dr Lim… Allen… or Al (as you can call him) may not be the first person who springs to mind when we think of the transformation of the sport over the past couple of decades. However, as he explains in this pod, his thinking and approach to the sport helped cycling move forward beyond a very traditional world to a much healthier and professional sport, from the use of power meters at Phonak to the development of the bio-passport at Garmin - Slipstream. I first met Allen whilst riding for EF Pro Cycling after a huge day in the saddle at training camp. I was blown away by how he managed to stand in front of a bunch of tired bike riders and an hour later have the whole room wide-eyed listening to his story. He is so passionate about helping athletes improve. What is more his own story is genuinely fascinating and includes some of the most important characters and periods in the sport in recent times. Allen is a guy who has made a career from listening to people and finding ways to solve what he calls the ‘bottlenecks' to performance. I love chatting with Allen because he asks questions that others don't seem to be able to ask, and his philosophies around nutrition are based on real food and supplying what athletes really need.  This is pretty much the exact reason that he ended up making sports nutrition after spending one race in Ireland having to feed the riders with only boiled potatoes! As well as discussing his background with me, Allen also took the time to answer some of your questions at the end, and - as you'll hear, his answers as always are worth a listen! There is a lot in this one: whether you love the details of sports science & nutrition, the history of cycling, or even just a great story. Sit back relax and enjoy. Cheers! Mitch

This week, Dr. Victoria Sanchez of the University of South Florida, and Dr. Shannon Basham of Phonak, join host Amyn Amlani to discuss the ACHIEVE study, a multi-year randomized controlled trial examining the effects of best-practice hearing care interventions on cognitive decline in older adults. The study results found that for those at higher risk of cognitive decline, providing hearing aids and counseling slowed cognitive decline by 48% over 3 years compared to a control group. The hearing intervention utilized comprehensive audiological evaluations, evidence-based device fitting, and patient education and support. While additional analyses continue, these significant findings demonstrate the potential impact optimized hearing care can have on supporting long-term cognitive health. The panelists emphasize that complex research like ACHIEVE requires interdisciplinary expertise and collaboration. As the field increasingly focuses on the connections between hearing and cognition, audiologists will need to take a more holistic approach in managing patients while partnering closely with physicians, researchers and others. Resources like Phonak's upcoming ECHHO training program will help clinicians translate recent research on hearing and cognitive health into effective patient care and communication. With cognitive decline emerging as a major health issue, audiology has an opportunity to play a central role in providing interventions that support cognitive health in aging adults. More information about the ECHHO program can be found here: https://www.sonova.com/en/media/phonak-introduces-echho-program-enhance-understanding-link-between-hearing-loss-and-cognitive General acknowledgements and funding for ACHIEVE Parent Study: Members of the ACHIEVE Collaborative Research Group are listed at achievestudy.org.

Forhjulslir præsenteres i samarbejde med Continental Dæk Danmark, hovedsponsor for Tour de France-starten i Danmark, bannerfører for sikkerheden på landevejene og podcastens hjælperytter på viften.  Michael Reihs - også kendt som 'Prinsen af Silkeborg'. Han er måske ikke Danmarks mest kendte cykelrytter i historien, men alle ryttere, staff, sportsdirektører og folk i dansk cykelsport fra slut 90'erne til slut 10'erne - altså over tre årtier - de kender Prinsen. Silkeborgenseren som drog tidligt til Schweiz og blev professionel på Phonak-holdet som 21-årig. Han kørte tre år på den professionelle scene, og så vendte han hjem til Silkeborg og den danske kontinental scene, hvor han udviklede sig til en stor profil og feltherre i den danske A-klasse. Her kørte han så 11-sæsoner som amatør. Han tog en professionel sejr i Gabon, han blev nr. 2 i Post Cuppen et hav af gange og vandt den så endelig i 2013, han formåede at finde sin egen stil og sin egen plads i cykelsporten og så viste han vejen for mange danske talenter. 12 år efter sin sidste professionelle kontrakt i 2003, tog han så skridtet op igen i 2015 , hvor han gik i udbrud i de flamske klassikere, følte sig som en ung professionel igen og fik nye, store og mindeværdige oplevelser på landevejen. Men hvem er Michael Reihs? Talenthviskeren som tog Mads Pedersen under sine vinger på Cult og Stölting, og som er den rytter i historien der har kørt flest udgaver af PostNord Danmark Rundt.  Hvorfor blev det kun til to år på det store schweiziske Phonak-hold? Hvordan udviklede han sig til at blive en profil og leder i den danske A-klasse? Og hvad er historien bag hans professionelle comeback som 34-årig i 2015? Hvem er cykelrytteren Michael Reihs? Og hvordan husker han tilbage på sin lange rejse i cykelsporten? Det fortæller han i dette store portræt, hvor han tager os med tilbage på mindernes landeveje.

Purchasing hearing aids is a big decision. If you are considering the newest Audeo Lumity from Phonak, then make sure to watch this review video. Phonak recently released a new line of hearing aids, and this video goes into detail about the new features, pros and cons, pricing, and more.

Scientific literature has discovered that hearing loss is associated with reduced physical activity. People with hearing loss tend to move less and less well than their normal hearing peers. In this podcast, Michael Preuss, Audiology Manager at Phonak, and Emily Urry, Research Scientist in Health and Innovation at Sonova, discuss how physical activity can improve your overall well-being and how the new Phonak Audéo Fit can help with motivating and tracking exercise.

Dr. Jodi Sasaki-Miraglia is an experienced audiologist who has experience in medical devices, employee training, and general sales. She is currently serving in two roles: the Director of Professional Education Manager at Widex. Dr. Sasaki-Miraglia previously worked as an audiologist at the Mayo Clinic and as the Senior Technical Trainer at Phonak. She received her doctorate in audiology from Salus University. In this episode… We were all taught from a young age to brush our teeth as a basic part of hygiene. There are clear benefits to preserving your teeth and consequences when they are neglected. However, this same mentality is rarely shown towards our own hearing. It's only once we've experienced hearing loss that we attempt to reverse the damage and by then it's too late. So how do you help people prevent hearing loss? Dr. Jodi Sasaki-Miraglia has worked in audiology, hearing education, and healthcare. She sees the issue as similar to other hygiene and deserving of the same attention. This includes regular check-ups, protective measures, and increased awareness. She has joined the movement to help others preserve their hearing and explains the best ways to do so. Dr. Mark Syms invites Dr. Jodi Sasaki-Miraglia, the Director of Professional Education for Widex, on this episode of the ListenUp! Podcast to talk about what hearing hygiene looks like in practice. They discuss the current issues in hearing healthcare and the campaigns that have been started to counteract them. They also touch on Dr. Sasaki-Miraglia's career and her perspective on hearing health.

The World Health Organization recently acknowledged that auditory training helps people to better use hearing in all situations. So how can audiologists better integrate these methods into their own practices? In this podcast, Lisa Bacic, Rehabilitation Manager at Phonak and Dr. Maren Stropahl discuss the impact and benefits of auditory skills trainings and how they can be used as a tool in aural rehab.

Phonak, a perennial leader in the world of hearing aid technology, created another exceptional product in the Paradise P90RL. Most importantly, the P90s deliver on sound quality. Our patients say that the Paradise sounds clear and crisp, while maintaining a natural quality. In addition, it has essentially all the other features you would want in a hearing aid: a rechargeable battery that lasts all day, a comfortable and discreet fit, Bluetooth streaming for phone calls and music/media, an app for volume adjustments, the option for a telecoil, waterproofing, and an array of accessories. It is reliable and sturdy, rarely needing to be repaired. It typically comes with a 3 year warranty for repair and loss. At most clinics the programming, fine-tuning, and all audiology services associated with the hearing aids will be included in the price, for at least the length of the warranty. You get the benefit of in-person care, including Real Ear Measures which any quality audiologist should perform. This verifies that the output of the hearing aids is personalized to your hearing, and that you can get the best performance out of these great Paradise P90RLs. If money was no object, this would be the hearing aid we recommend, because in our opinion it is the best hearing aid of 2022.

This week we sit down with BMC's Joan Hanscom to look at the URS LT suspension gravel bike. With 20mm of HiRide powered front suspension paired with a Micro Travel Technology (MTT) Rear stay, the URS LT is up for any adventure. Episode sponsor: Athletic Greens BMC URS LT Support the Podcast Join The Ridership  Automated Transcription, please excuse the typos: Joan - BMC [00:00:00] Craig Dalton: Hello and welcome to the gravel ride podcast. I'm your host Craig Dalton This week on the podcast. We've got John Hanscom from BMC here to talk about the BMC ERs, L T you might remember re mentoring this bike. Back in the, in the dirt episode, a couple of months back when it first came out and a quick interview we did down at If you recall, the ERs has been in market for a few years, but the LT version actually has a front suspension on it. So as you can imagine, I was eager to talk about it. Before we jump into the show. I need to thank this week sponsor. AIG one by athletic greens. I'm always happy to shout out our friends at AIG one, simply because I've been using the product for many, many years.

Joan, welcome to the show. [00:02:52] Joan Hanscom : Hi, thanks for having me. [00:02:54] Craig Dalton: I'm excited to have this conversation with you. I've been eager to talk to someone about this BMC or is LT for awhile. It's a bike I've known about prior to the LT model, but something I've always been excited about. So why don't we start off with just a little bit of your background and how you found your way to BMC, and then let's talk about the BMC. [00:03:14] Joan Hanscom : Yeah, right on. And it's not a terrible thing to talk about breaks on a Friday afternoon, right? So the most fun topic we can have going into a weekend. Oh. So. My background. I started racing a long time ago and I really, really loved I started as a multi-sport athlete and was a terrible runner. And so find myself racing bikes and loving racing bikes and At the same time I was experiencing some, I don't know, career stress we'll call it. I was working for AOL and they merged for AOL time Warner. And it went from being like the super awesome place to work. And be too sort of stressful and political. And I asked myself, what do I love? I love bike racing. So I reached out to some guys in Philly, Dave, Shawna, and Jerry castle, and said, gosh, you should hire me to work for you. And. Dave and Jerry we're producing the biggest road events in the country at the time, the Philly week, San Francisco, grand Prix. And I just threw a hail Mary and said, you should hire me. And they lo and behold they did. And so I've been working in bike racing ever since. So that was probably 2002, a long time ago. So I've been, been around bike racing for a good long time. And I would describe myself as an enthusiast, a bike racer who has more. Passion, then talent will go with that. But, but yeah, so I've been kicking around in the bike industry for a long time. Ran my own business for a while. The U S grand Prix of cyclocross, which some of your listeners may be familiar with. So I had a really good run with U GP and that culminated. The Louisville world championships in 2013. And after that I said, I needed a little break from bike racing. I went to work for a German brand called Avis who makes great bike blocks and helmets. And then I started missing bike racing and I went to work for USA cycling and I was there for three years and then an opportunity came to become the executive director at the velodrome and T town. So I went there to do some work on the east coast. I was missing my family at the time. And. Feeling like I should be closer to home. And then. Suddenly this opportunity to move to Santa Cruz and work for BMC came along and I've always wanted to live by the ocean. And I actually was a long time BMC rider myself. So I had to jump at the opportunity to come to work for BMC. And I do not regret one moment of moving to Santa Cruz. At all, especially looking at my friends back in Houston, they're moaning and groaning over the terrible weather. So that's the short, quick and dirty of how I came to be in bike racing. And at BMC. [00:05:50] Craig Dalton: Amazing. Thanks for that. And thank you. Thank you for putting so much time into putting events on in your career. I think it's you know, it's something that people don't get enough credit for, but it's so critically important to the sport. So to have such a long journey and for you to name drop some of those great events that I was a fan of or attended over the course of the last couple of decades, it's amazing. So kudos to you for that. [00:06:12] Joan Hanscom : Oh, well, I thank you that I think my event directing career much like my bike racing career is, is based in sheer stubbornness or for sheer force of will. We'll call it because both are somewhat thankless. My, my racing career and event production. So thank you for that. Yes. [00:06:30] Craig Dalton: That makes sense. And, yeah, kudos to California. I mean, I sh I, I rode in shorts and a Jersey today. This comment is going to make lots of people angry as they listen to this in their colder weather, climate homes in this February. [00:06:43] Joan Hanscom : Yes. And since I spent last February, you know, buried under 30 inches of snow at this time of year, I'm nanny, nanny, new, new, I'm very happy to be here. It's terrific. Well, I'm sorry if my friends are jealous. [00:06:58] Craig Dalton: Let's talk about the BMC brand. I'm sure some listeners are familiar with it, but it's got a long history and I'd love to learn a little bit more about it. [00:07:08] Joan Hanscom : So first of all, the thing that people ask me about BMC, the most, which I think is amazing and charming is everybody asks what BMC stands for. And then I tell them and they're just like, oh, duh. So BMC actually stands for bicycle manufacturing company. How can you not love that? Right? Like, oh, everybody thinks BMC is acronym for something else. And it's really so beautifully simple bicycle bicycle manufacturing company. And people are like, oh DMC was founded in in 1994. In 2000 Andy Reese, who was the chairman of the phone act group and phone AXA hearing aid group. Andy Reese took over the company along with his, his Phonak's cycling team and thus the high performance high precision thing that we know came really into being. And it really changed the trajectory when Andy Reese came on board with the company And in 2002, they launched really what is a bike that's still running today? Which is, I mean, it's been innovated on and changed obviously. But the team machine launched in 2002 and people are still racing and winning big bike races on the team machine. Right. Again, it's been innovative and it's been iterative. But still that's a, that's a bike. That's got quite a legacy at this point. [00:08:26] Craig Dalton: Yeah. I certainly remember lusting after the team machine. So that's just a great looking bike and the company, you know, as you said with that tour de France racing pedigree, it was definitely positioned as this is a brand that is sparing no expense to make the fastest machines out there. [00:08:42] Joan Hanscom : And that really is the brand ethos. You'll hear us talk a lot about creating speed and they really hang their hat on precision Swiss engineering innovation, and all of it really, really drives towards this notion of creating speed and, and producing speed and finding speed. And I want a cool identity, right? I mean, and everything they do is about that. And. What, and one of the cool pivot points for BMC is that in 2010, they launched what they call their impact lab. So I was just over in Switzerland in Gretchen at the headquarters. They have the offices across the streets of Ella Jerome, where they can obviously take advantage of doing a lot of testing and and speed work. But also they have this impact lab, which is another building down the street. And that's really where the magic happens in terms of the engineering, because what the impact lab does without giving away all the secrets. enables innovation to happen at a, at a pace that nobody else really is matching. Right? So they're able to have an idea and really get into prototypes immediately. And that that impact lab is, is really something that distinguishes BMC and where all of this really cutting edge technology is born. And so it's a really cool thing that they launched, but it really does enable that pace of innovation to be always high. [00:10:05] Craig Dalton: Are the frames manufactured in Switzerland. Okay. And do you do, do you know when they introduced the mountain bike lineup for the first time? [00:10:14] Joan Hanscom : 2007, they launched the four stroke, which is another, I mean, obviously a hugely innovative bike. That's still won the Olympics in Tokyo, you know? So, so yeah, that's, that was a 2007 and again, it's iterative, right? It's just, it's, it's a bike line that keeps evolving. And personally, I thought it was the coolest thing ever when they got Pauline for provoke to be. BMC athlete and now Pauline's racing a four stroke and I think that's super bad ass. [00:10:43] Craig Dalton: Yeah. I feel like it must have been 2008 or 2009 that I got a BMC team machine 29 or heart. And what, what impressed me at the time as I had come off another hard tail. And at that time, I think BMC was one of the first companies to do a drop stay and they were touting with a 27 2 seat post. We've built some compliance into the rear end of this. And it really did feel like a technological leap forward when I got on that bike. And it really crystallized for me that this understanding that you can build that type of compliance into a, essentially a rigid frame and get these performance benefits that I know we'll get to and talk about with the, with the ERs model. [00:11:29] Joan Hanscom : Yep. And, and that's true. And, and, you know, they've, they've been really with the Forester Oak. I mean, their dropper post is incredibly innovative. I mean, they were, they were, you know, Doing geometry adaptations for, for the 29 inch wheel, the 29, or like before anybody else as well. Like they, they really always are pushing this innovation for speed. So, which I think, you know, you'll continue to see as our gravel as our gravel line evolves and, and, you know, emerges as well. So yeah. [00:11:59] Craig Dalton: Am I correct that the ER's the original was the first Scrabble bike that they introduced or was there another one prior to that? [00:12:07] Joan Hanscom : that's correct. So the ORs was there first. It was 2019 when they launched the ERs and that was their first gravel bike. They though we have a bike that's sort of, light gravel, maybe call it the road, machine X. But the ERs was the first really, truly like disruptive gravel bike that, that BMC came out with. [00:12:25] Craig Dalton: And let's talk about some of the design philosophy behind the original ERs, and then we'll get into the LT later because obviously they share the same frame design. So let's talk about the base frame of the errors, and then we'll get into the LT a little bit later. [00:12:39] Joan Hanscom : Yeah. So, so I think. It's carbon obviously. And, and I think BMC really looks at you know, precision engineering. They, they look at geometry really purpose-built for the specific thing. Right? So, so the ERs is, was designed from the beginning. To, to eventually have a suspension fork. Right? So they, they, they were, even though they didn't launch with a suspension fork, they, they conceived of this. So the original ERs was launched with a suspension corrected fork and the ability to upgrade it to a Fox 32 step cast AIX suspension, or, or a RockShox Rudy. So even in the first iteration, you were able to go to a suspension if you wanted to it's dropper, post compatible Even, even in the first iteration that didn't have that built in or, or, you know, SPECT they were thinking along those lines, [00:13:34] Craig Dalton: that was super interesting. I remember interviewing Chris Mondell from SRAM rock. And he rides that bike. And I was quizzing him about how it changed the geometry of it, because he acknowledged, like, if you're putting this on as a aftermarket product, it is definitely going to slack an out your bike. But offline, when I was talking to me, he's like, it just didn't have that effect on the ERs. And he did discover after the fact that they had built in this suspension adjusted geometry already. [00:14:04] Joan Hanscom : Yeah, yeah. From the beginning, they knew where they were going to go with that, which is super cool. And again, that just sort of speaks to the, the mindset or the, the, you know, the innovative thinking that goes into the design of all of these bikes. And, and so, yeah, it's, you know, it's, it's a. It's backed with a saran Eagle in the back's Ram red in the front. Which some people, you know, there's, I guess that's a hotly debated topic, right. About one buy versus to buy. And is it a real race bike if it's a one by and but you know, it's, it's specked with 40 millimeter tires up to 45 millimeter clearance. It's six 50 be compatible. All of this stuff was. You know, conceived of in the first iteration it's got a 70 degree slack head angle which, which creates a really long front end and wheel base. And that builds in like a lot of stability in the ride. And I can speak to that myself. I think I told you this when we were first chatting, I, I had, I first rode the ERs at unpaid. PA this, this past October, and it was horrible conditions. It was just like a horrible, horrible, horrible conditions. It was cold and raining and just people look like mud people. And I had a big, stupid grin on my face the whole day from this bike because you know, there's a lot of descending it unpaved and. It was just so stable in those conditions. Those are going to just really awful muddy, slick, downhill, Rocky, and I was just having fun. And so that stability, I just think, you know, really makes it a delight to ride and that, that rear suspension, the MTT technology and the stays it's 10 it's 10 millimeters of travel. But what it does is it just sucks all the fatigue out of your ride. It just, it makes it so. You don't feel fatigued. [00:15:53] Craig Dalton: Yeah. When we talk about that rear end technology. So I'm on my mountain bike. It was a completely rigid stage, just dropped and kind of compliance built in. But in this particular bike, there's actually, is it a little elastomer? [00:16:06] Joan Hanscom : Yeah. It's it's we refer to it as, as, as micro travel technology, right? It's it's 10 millimeters of travel and it just has this incredible. I don't know. It makes it, you get less tired. I, I don't know how to describe it. It just, it takes. It, it, it, it allows for this really great power transfer and, but adds to control. And for me, it was just like the fatigue, eraser. And, and it's amazing that the, that this micro travel technology it's so minimalist, but it makes such a big difference without, you know, you feeling like you're bouncing along on a suspension. So it, it feels good even on, on paved, [00:16:48] Craig Dalton: Yeah, I think, you know, it's so it's so interesting. The resistance that the market tends to have towards suspension. And I know it's going to go away over time because the performance or benefits are there and you have to in the listener, the frequent listeners, going to know I'm a broken record on this. You have to sort of add the suspension. In your bicycle through your tires, through your body, potentially through some compliance in the frame, maybe a suspension fork, maybe it's suspension, stem, maybe suspension in your C posts, but all these things are going to combine to just helping you become less fatigued or have more control in super Rocky environment. So I think it's super interesting, and I know some writers personally, on the original owners frame. Mimic the same thing, as you're saying, it's just, it's just a bike that feels good. Being out on it all day. [00:17:35] Joan Hanscom : Yeah. So funny enough, and I know I'm probably jumping the gun because you, you, you had sort of teamed up for me. Hey, what are people saying about the ride? And I, and I actually about specifically about the LT and. And I was talking to one of our ambassadors a writer named Chris Meacham. Who's on the east coast and we talked about the, this is front suspension and we can talk about that later. But we, we started talking about the stays in the, in the, in the back and he, he he and I share the same coach. So, so his coach. He rocked up to this hundred plus mile road ride fast, you know, fast roady road ride last Saturday on yours. And his, his coach was like, you're an idiot. And, and, and Chris has a bad back. And so he had the suspension locked out on the front, but he, you know, he still was on, on the ears with the, with the rear suspension and. he said he was tired because obviously he's riding on. I think he said 40 twos. So trying to keep up with people on road bikes. Okay. Tired. He said, but he never got the sore back that he normally gets on his road bike. And he said, when he finished, he just felt great. [00:18:44] Craig Dalton: Yeah. [00:18:45] Joan Hanscom : And I thought, well, that's a Testament, right? If you're riding this out on the road for a hundred plus miles and you finish feeling awesome, it's a Testament to saying that there's something to this, this micro travel technology and fatigue. So, so yeah, I [00:19:00] Craig Dalton: I think it's one of those things that I just hope that more people get to try these types of solutions before they malign them. Right. Because you need to be able to just put a leg over it and see, Hey, well, it's not really T you know, maybe it's taking away a fraction from. On-road performance, but what is it adding and where do I care to have that additional performance? [00:19:20] Joan Hanscom : And when you're talking about gravel, where. What do they start at 70 miles and go up to 350. I mean, you know, it's, when you're talking about that, that type of distance fatigue matters, you know, that that's a, that's a real performance gain when you, when you don't have discomfort or when you're not feeling massively fatigue, because you're not your, body's not taking the abuse that maybe it would, if you were. Having that, that benefit of the, of the technology then? Yeah, it definitely, it's one of those things where distance is a multiplier of fatigue. Right. So, [00:19:56] Craig Dalton: yep. A hundred percent. You talked about BMC and it's very performance oriented background and history. When it entered the world of gravel with the earth. W, where was it intending that bike to slot into the, to the spectrum of bikes? [00:20:11] Joan Hanscom : So I think that's such an interesting question. And I honestly don't know if they were geniuses or or not. The name of the bikers really means unrestricted. And I don't know if they were seeing into the future of the direction that gravel racing was going to take, you know, because it, it has gotten more extreme since, you know, the first, oh, we're going to go out and ride some gravel roads with our friends. I think the terrain has gotten to be more. More challenging. People are looking for it to be a little bit more epic. I hate that word, but you know, so I think what gravel racing has become, or is evolving into, is there some that's just beautiful, you know, No magic carpet ride, gravel roads, and then there's others that are Rocky chunky, single tracky. And so I don't know if they had that evolution in mind when they design the years or not, but but it's certainly a bike that I think has evolved or nicely to align with the direction that some gravel racing is taking. But I think going back to the unrestricted thing, You know, unrestricted says a lot about what this bike is intended to be. It's got, it's got mouths, so you can load it up with your bike packing gear. It's got you can, you can run a dynamo hub, so you could really take it as an adventure bike or you could not, and just race it and find that You know, w th this technology that we've been discussing actually enhances your race a lot. Now, there are some people that will argue that in no shape or form can a one by drive training, be a race bike. I, I personally would answer. It depends on the race. You know, and I think there are races where. That one buys probably pretty great, you know, you know, not all, not all gravel races are flat, you know, essentially dusty road races and for some of the climate year things, you know, the right terrain. I think that people are pretty stoked to have that, that 52 option in the back. [00:22:06] Craig Dalton: totally. Especially on the Western half of the United States. [00:22:10] Joan Hanscom : Yeah. So, so I don't think you can dismiss it. It's not a race bike because it's got a one by, but I think it was really designed to be all of the above. It was supposed to be an adventure bike that could take you where you want to go. And it's a bike that you can definitely race if you want to. I know, I know. I thought I was racing it when I was out on it. So. [00:22:29] Craig Dalton: I know you mentioned this before, but what is this tire size capacity of the bike? [00:22:33] Joan Hanscom : It comes back with forties and it can go up to 45. And then it's six 50 be compliant. So you could, you could add six 50 bees if you wanted to. [00:22:42] Craig Dalton: Yeah. Great. Great. So let's shift gears and let's talk about the ERs LT at this point, which was introduced, what is the very end of 21? Am I getting those [00:22:52] Joan Hanscom : Yeah, no, wait, I don't even know what [00:22:54] Craig Dalton: Actually a little bit earlier. You're right. Because I, I met at, I met one of your colleagues at and got a little bit of a preview of it. So that was back in October. So it must've been earlier than the. [00:23:03] Joan Hanscom : Yeah. I honestly like the time is so weird now. Like, wait, what? I don't even know what you're wearing right now. The first time we showed it publicly in the U S was at that seawater event in 21 though. Right? It was 21 right now. Now I sound like a crazy person. But yeah, that's so it's very, it's very new to the market. In a lot of places just getting into shops now. So not a ton of people. I'm, I'm certain I've had the opportunity to ride at yet. And, you know, everybody knows the bike world is a little bizarre right now in terms of supply chain, but that the bikes are out there now and being delivered, which is super cool. And like I said, we have an ambassador who's out on it now. So, so yeah, they're, they're starting to be out in the wild now. [00:23:45] Craig Dalton: So the big thing we need to point out for the listener is that the ER's LT, unlike its cousin, the ERs, the ears LT comes with a front suspension fork. [00:23:55] Joan Hanscom : That is really the only difference. Correct? It's the same. Everything else is the same. With the exception of the front suspension. [00:24:02] Craig Dalton: Yeah. As podcasting as a medium, we don't have the opportunity to hold one up in front of us. Maybe on this video we could have, but the suspension actually occurs within the head tube. So unlike a rock soccer, Fox shock that you may have been familiar with from mountain biking, with telescoping legs, you're actually getting the travel within the head tube. [00:24:23] Joan Hanscom : Yes. Yeah, I think it's pretty cool. Right? It's like all up inside. You can't see it really. And, and yeah, it's, it's integrated into the design, [00:24:33] Craig Dalton: And that's based on a partnership with a company called high ride. [00:24:37] Joan Hanscom : correct? Yup. [00:24:39] Craig Dalton: Yeah. So not, not a new idea in the world of bikes, obviously Cannondale has their head shock. And prior to that, my old mountain bike memory recalled the action tech being another brand that had a, a fork that was pursuing this strategy. But I have to say, as, as an implementation, it's, it's super elegant. Like you can look at that bike and not necessarily see that it has any suspension in it, [00:25:03] Joan Hanscom : Right. [00:25:03] Craig Dalton: is pretty tricky. [00:25:05] Joan Hanscom : Yeah, you can. I mean, you can definitely see below the head tube and I'm making gestures now with my hands. Like people can see me, you can definitely see where there is, you know, at the top of the fork, it, it would look like there's a suspension. But it doesn't look like you said, traditional what you would see on a, on a front suspension, on a mountain bike. And it's, I think it's just super, like you said, elegant. [00:25:27] Craig Dalton: And how much suspension is the system offering riders? [00:25:32] Joan Hanscom : 20 millimeter. So, so it's, it's really pretty minimalist. And it's, it is manual, right? So you, with the, with the, it's a turnkey damper on, on top of the stem, right? So you just turn it to turn it on, you turn it back to turn it off. And yeah, you, you can control it. [00:25:51] Craig Dalton: are the writers that are on the product now, and maybe you have this from testing back at the BMC facility. Are they tending to use the lockout or have they found. It doesn't actually make it. It's not a negative thing that there's a little bit of motion in the front when I'm climbing, for example. [00:26:07] Joan Hanscom : So I actually talked with, again, the aforementioned Chris Meacham about this, because he's really been putting it through its paces. And he, he told me that he absolutely uses it. He said, you know, seven, depending on, along the ride, like 7, 8, 9 times during a ride, he's changing that suspension. So I think we've all done gravel rides where you're on pace. And when he's on pavement, he, he locks it out. And then, you know, when the, when he's doing a downhill or it's particularly like chunky, he definitely opens it up and he finds himself actually, you know, adjusting it with a lot of regularity, which I think is pretty cool. [00:26:47] Craig Dalton: Yeah, no, I mean, it's great that it's there as an option. I'm curious if you, if you had heard from him, whether, if he was on an off-road climb with a lot of rocks, whether he would leave it open or it's something he would close up. [00:26:58] Joan Hanscom : He said he closes it when he stands up to climb or stands up to ride out of the saddle. But but he leaves it open otherwise, depending on the terrain. Yeah. [00:27:07] Craig Dalton: Interesting. And I think you mentioned this, but just for the listener, it's got a dial on top of essentially on top of the steer tuber on top of your stem that you're reaching over and just clicking over to a locked out position. [00:27:19] Joan Hanscom : Yep. Correct. [00:27:21] Craig Dalton: How are you able to adjust the product for different weights, body weights? [00:27:25] Joan Hanscom : You know, you've, you've just stump the chump. I don't know. Nobody's ever asked me that before. [00:27:30] Craig Dalton: I think I saw and I'll try to maybe refer. In the show notes and that you might be able to swap out the Springs with inside that, that H ride high ride suspension. [00:27:41] Joan Hanscom : Well, I can say that high ride does have additional suspension offerings that, that you would need to take to a dealer to make those changes so you can change out. I think, I think. What it comes standard with would be quote unquote, mid stiffness. And if you wanted to change that high ride provides an option for you to do that, that you would take your bike to the dealer and have them make that change. [00:28:07] Craig Dalton: Okay. Gotcha. And is that, is the, is the front end of that bike different to accommodate? Is there any additional sort of size that the high ride suspension needs in the head tube? Or can you swap things out? I don't even know. [00:28:22] Joan Hanscom : I, I mean, swap things out, [00:28:24] Craig Dalton: Like swap a fork. Is Schwab a different fork in, To that? The high ride system? [00:28:29] Joan Hanscom : honestly that I don't know either. I don't know. I think you can change out the fork, but I'm not sure I would, I would [00:28:36] Craig Dalton: be fair. I did, to be fair to the listener. I did promise John, I wasn't going to drill her on a highly technical details because as, as the listener knows, I'm not super tactical myself, but these are just things that are popping into my mind as [00:28:47] Joan Hanscom : No, it's, it's, it's a great question. And I can absolutely. I seem to recall that you could change it out, but I don't want to swear a hundred percent. But I will definitely check for you. And, and let you know, after the fact, because yeah, don't no one's ever asked me that one either, but I haven't really had a chance to talk about it. Cause like I said, it's just shown up. [00:29:05] Craig Dalton: Yeah. There's not, not enough of these bikes out there in the world yet. [00:29:08] Joan Hanscom : No, and I haven't even gotten to ride it yet. So I'm like, I love my, my ears are one, but I haven't gotten dry BLT yet. So, that's how rare they are so far. [00:29:18] Craig Dalton: How are you planning on getting the word out in 2020? [00:29:20] Joan Hanscom : Well, first, first up, we're going to be at sea Otter, which is cool. So you can come check it out at sea Otter, and then we're actually doing some very rad things. We're going to be at all the lifetime grand Prix events with the bikes so people can check them out there. We won't be able to demo them, but we'll be showing them off so people can come turn the knob and see what the suspension is like. We're going to be at, at a bunch of other events too. One of the ones I'm particularly excited about. Coming as a surprise to absolutely. No one is we're going to be at the girls, gone gravel, gone graveling weekend in Bentonville. So we'll have it there to show off as well. So we'll be at a bunch of gravel events throughout the season showing it off. So people can actually touch it and, and see what it's all about and, and, you know, just get a general sense of, of how it works. Cause think. You said it pretty well. You can't see it on a podcast. So some of this may sound a little weird, but if you're at any of these events that we're at, we encourage you to come over and say, hi, check it out. [00:30:15] Craig Dalton: And then are your European colleagues doing events over in Europe this year as well with the bike? [00:30:21] Joan Hanscom : yeah, they share our they, they share our, I think everybody everybody's pretty stoked on this bike and because we're BMC, we're innovating always. And you never know, there could be, there could be innovation in this space coming again in this, in the future. So stay tuned. [00:30:36] Craig Dalton: What did you get from your, your, your Swiss colleagues about the rise of gravel in Europe? What's the scene looking like over there? If you, if you had any of those conversations. [00:30:46] Joan Hanscom : We have some, I think that, you know, they really look at the U S as the, as the. Epicenter of it right now. But, but it's definitely growing in popularity, particularly, I believe in Gerona and the Alma Rawlins and Gerona, and certainly in Italy. And it's, it is starting to capture the imagination, obviously with the UCI focus now on, on gravel. It's starting to capture the interest of the higher level pros and a lot of ways similar to what we're seeing here. So they see it as any, I think an emerging race space, which of course, BMC being a high performance brand is very attractive. So my Swiss colleagues are starting to see that. This is a viable racing space for BMC to play. And so I think they find it quite intriguing. I think what's really nice for, for, for me to hear from BMC as well is, and why it's partially, why I'm excited to work for the brand. They see a lot of potential with the women's market for this bike. And I think that's massive. Like I love hearing that, that the brand I work for is. Profoundly interested in the female market. That's exciting. So, so yeah, so I think that's, that's, that's where they're at, but they, they get it that something cool is happening here. [00:32:07] Craig Dalton: Yeah. I feel like the European scene got set back a year through COVID. Whereas there was a couple of series and a couple of big events that were set to launch in 2020. And obviously they didn't get off the ground, but I think I imagining that this, this summer in Europe, we're going to see a lot of events start to kind of just take that Marquis place of like, what's the big one that someone wants to travel to. And. [00:32:28] Joan Hanscom : Right. And I think too, I mean, you're just starting to see in conventional road races, more gravel, right. I mean, that's certainly controversial for you know, should, should there be graveling tours? Ooh. And, you know, you can have, you can have , but can you have gravel? And so that's controversial and. You know, we have strata Biyanki now, which is left in a short tenure or 10 plus year history to, to be a classic. And certainly that's got to a fair bit of gravel in it. And we just had a race in Spain, a road race in Spain that had graveled sectors and sort of like the pre strata Biyanki strata be hockey. And so, you know, I think it's starting to have more adoption there as well, and people are starting to see the potential in it there. So. Ooh, belong in a tour. We don't know yet. Stay tuned. [00:33:15] Craig Dalton: well, this is awesome. I appreciate you coming on and giving an overview of the brand. I mean, it's, I think it's great. High performance brands are looking at gravel and really putting resources towards thinking about what's the best type of equipment that they can create. And the space, I think, has room for a lot of different perspectives. So I appreciate BMC bringing something new and innovative to the table. [00:33:38] Joan Hanscom : Yeah, I think it's super cool. And I think they're not going to stop. So I think as the sport evolves as the discipline evolves, they'll keep evolving as well. So we'll see. [00:33:50] Craig Dalton: Well, we look forward to seeing you down at this year, [00:33:54] Joan Hanscom : Yeah. Right on. [00:33:55] Craig Dalton: I hope you have a great weekend down there in [00:33:57] Joan Hanscom : Thanks. Thanks. I'm going to get out of my ears on Sunday and I can't wait. [00:34:01] Craig Dalton: Yes. [00:34:03] Joan Hanscom : good, good [00:34:03] Craig Dalton: for the time. [00:34:04] Joan Hanscom : scene. Yeah. Cool. Thank you. Have a great weekend. [00:34:07] Craig Dalton: So that's going to do it for this week's edition of the gravel ride podcast. Huge. Thanks to John from BMC for joining us. I hope you enjoyed that conversation. I know for me, the idea of suspension in gravel bikes has been something that's provoked a lot of thoughts and interest. I very much appreciate the innovation in the space. And I encourage you to take a look at that bike and others in the category. As always, if you have any feedback for me or the podcasts in general, I encourage you to join us over at the ridership. Simply visit www.theridership.com. It is by far the best place to connect with me, but much more importantly, other gravel athletes from around the world. Just talking about bikes.

Guests: Natalie Nelson, AuD - Clinical Trainer at Phonak; Ashley Hughes, AuD - Audiologist at Interacoustics Topic: Navigating Student Loans & Negotiating Effectively: A Guide for Young Hearing Pros Natalie and Ashley join Dave on the podcast to share their hard-earned wisdom around navigating student debt and utilizing collaborative negotiation in the work-world. For students and young hearing professionals entering into the first or second industry job, these two help to illustrate real tactics one can use to efficiently pay down student debt. Many of the tactics mentioned through the convo revolve around learning how to properly negotiate at the onset of one's career. As the three discuss, the idea of collaborative negotiation is that you're working to find a win-win between you and your employer. Therefore, it's important that in order to justify asking for additional benefits or higher salary, but also provide meaningful ways to compensate for your ask. Natalie and Ashley share a wide variety of options that one might offer (such as social media management or handling walk-ins), as well as ways to practice the one's negotiating skills in everyday life so that it may come a bit more naturally in time. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/futureear/message

Tyler Hamilton is a former American professional cyclist who had stints on U.S. Postal, Team CSC and Phonak during his career. Tyler rode with Lance Armstrong while at U.S. Postal and helped Lance win 3 Tours de France. Hamilton would achieve some stellar results himself winning Liege Bastogne Liege in 2003 and the Olympic Time Trail in 2004. His best results in a Grand Tour were 4th overall in the 2003 Tour de France and 2nd overall in the 2002 Giro d' Italia. Hamilton has since been stripped of some of his results as a consequence of his admission to using performance enhancing drugs during his career. In our conversation we chat about many different things, including Tyler's introduction to cycling and the ups and downs of his career. We also discuss what his transition from the sport looked like and what he is currently doing with his time. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/a-champions-mind35/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/a-champions-mind35/support

This week I am inspired to sit down with two young women who have both been an integral part of the campUS experience.  campUS is an overnight camp for teens with hearing loss focusing on successful transition and leadership skills. Our first guest is Dr. Katie Colborn, pediatric audiologist at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, who served as a campUS counselor 2 different years.  Our second guest is Audrey Susz, a former camper attending twice, who is now a sophomore at the Ohio State University.  These two inspiring ladies share the impact of the campUS experience from both a counselor and camper perspective.  Fundamentally, it is important to offer these opportunities to develop strong relationships and advocacy skills.  Join Dr. Spangler and be inspired to start your own same-self peer connections group!   For More Information like the Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/campUS.teens.HL Watch this YouTube video (thanks to Phonak) about the campUS experience titled: Teens with hearing loss:  Learning to advocate for yourself people that maybe enhanced my differences https://youtu.be/lGDNdjkXtDM

Met zijn Phonak om de nek en zijn subwoofer-backpack op zijn rug is de 23-jarige rapper Sor één van de meest opvallende namen in de hiphopgame, ondanks dat hij zo goed als doof is. Met het hiphopcollectief Black Acid dropte hij pokoes als 'Anne Maré' en 'Eigen Schuld' en zette hij zichzelf op de kaart. Kort nadat Sor een platencontract kreeg aangeboden bij Vincent zijn label Noah’s Ark verloor hij door een onbekende ziekte zijn gehoor. Inmiddels heeft Sor zijn manier van muziek maken herontdekt en dropte hij onder Noah's Ark de EP's 'Phonak' en 'Professor'. -- Wilde Haren de Podcast  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildeharendepodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/wildeharendepc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wildeharendepodcast Vincent ‘Jiggy Djé’ Patty Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jiggydje/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/JiggyDje SUPPORT WILDE HAREN DE PODCAST  Wordt vaste supporter via Petje.Af:  https://petje.af/wildeharen Òf koop de 'Ik support real podcasting' merchandise!  https://wildeharendepodcast.lnk.to/WILDEHARENDEWEBSHOP Wilde Haren de Podcast is onderdeel van DeStroom ⚡ #WildeHarenDePodcast

Guests: Jason Mayer, VP Commercial Sales at Phonak; Meagan Lewis, Director of Audiology at Wake Forest Baptist Health Topic: Leveraging Remote Audiology Services to Adapt & Thrive Meagan and Jason join Dave this week to chat about the implementation and usage of remote telehealth services in the audiology setting. Meagan shares her own experience of incorporating remote services into her clinic, and provides her perspective around how she believes remote services can be effectively utilized today, and post-pandemic as well. As a longtime veteran at Phonak, Jason offers a peak behind the curtain at how the hearing aid manufacturers are viewing this time, and what companies like Phonak are doing to help enable practitioners to operate remotely. The conversation covers a wide array of topics, including the types of services that can be used by professionals today, how to think about billing for these services, and the evolution of the practicing professionals' business model as new services become more available and in-demand. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/futureear/message

Tyler Hamilton er kanskje mest kjent som mannen som startet det store fallet til Lance Armstrong. Tyler syklet på US Postal med Lance, og var en av hans viktigste støttespillere i hans første tour-seire. I 2002 byttet han lag og syklet noen sesonger som kaptein i både Team CSC og Phonak. Høydepunktet var OL-gullet han vant på tempo under OL i Athen i 2004, en medalje han senere måtte sende tilbake da han ble tatt for doping. I nyere tid er han mest kjent for at han var en av de første i kretsen rundt Lance som gikk offentlig ut og innrømmet doping i tillegg til at han impliserte Lance. Vi skulle egentlig snakke om Tour de France fra 2000, men samtalen beveger seg også mye inn på doping og dopingkulturen som herjet på denne tiden.    Tidenes Tour de France presenteres i samarbeid med Solberg & Hansen, Seiko Prospex-serien og Northug.     https://www.tidenespod.no  https://www.facebook.com/tidenespod  https://www.instagram.com/tidenespod  https://www.twitter.com/tidenespod    Tidenes Tour de France lages sommeren 2020 av Hans Olav 'Hanso' Ingholm og Jarle Fredagsvik.

Record time, make sure potential patient is physically safe from further harm, and remain as calm as you can.Sudden hearing loss HUM Checker:  "Hum  aloud to yourself. With normal hearing the sound equally in both ears. If you do this when you have a new loss of hearing in one ear, the humming will shift to one side or the other.  For example, if your right ear is affected and the hum is louder in that ear, then the hearing loss, is more likely a conductive loss, and probably due to blockage from a cold or build-up  ear wax. (You can simulate this  effect by humming while you cover your right ear.) However, if the humming is louder in the left ear, it suggest the right ear hearing loss is due to recent nerve damage, and that requires prompt medical attention.https://www.health.harvard.edu/?utm_source=delivra&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=GB20200506-Hearing&utm_id=2136735&dlv-emuid=b5426784-12b5-48cb-a02c-5c7520fd0c20&dlv-mlid=2136735 Check out more on and CONNECT to Make the Changes Needed for 21st Century Hearing Awareness Communities with the Hearing Friendly Signage. www.hearcommunication.comhttps://www.facebook.com/teresabarnesrnhttps://www.facebook.com/hearcommunication/https://www.linkedin.com/in/hearteresabarnesrn/https://www.instagram.com/teresabarnesrn/https://twitter.com/TeresaBarnesRN

New audio technologies are paving the way for improved hearing aids, and Rachel Bishop, an audiologist with the Phonak company, was at CES 2020 to share the Phonak Virto Black.Shaped like an earbud, Phonak hearing aids aim to bust the stigma of hearing loss, and close the seven-year gap - the average time between when people realize they're having hearing problems and when they actually decide to do something about it. The hearing aids employ Binaural VoiceStream Technology that streams the full audio bandwidth in real time and bidirectionally, tackling challenging listening situations by simulating what the brain does with sounds from both ears. Linking the two hearing aids ensures that wearers can benefit from hearing speech in both ears, especially in a noisy environment, on the phone or when the hearing aid wearer can't face the speaker.Marvel hearing aids also feature RogerDirect an auxiliary device that be placed between speakers wearing the Phonak Virto hearing aid, canceling noise and enabling the speakers to hear one another better. The puck can also be worn around the neck. The device has an accelerometer that points the microphone directly towards the speaker. When paired with the Phonak Virto Marvel aids, it enables people with hearing loss to be able to hear up to 10x better in a crowded room, than someone with normal hearing, in the same conditions.The hearing aids connect directly to either your iOS or Android smartphone or other Bluetooth enabled devices and can be used for hands-free calls, TV, music, e-books, podcasts and more. The hearing aid batteries have a six-year lifespan and can be used all day without recharging.Phonak sells to audiologists and audiologists service costs are bundled into the device, typically for the life of the hearing aid, and range in price from $4000 to $6000.Learning more about Phonak Virto Marvel hearing aids at the company website.Interview by Todd Cochrane of Geek News Central.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Das Hören ist eine der faszinierendsten Sinnesleistungen des Menschen, deren Bedeutung für die zwischenmenschliche Kommunikation wesentlich ist. Um hörbehinderten Menschen das Hören trotzdem zu ermöglichen, greift man auf Hilfsmittel wie z.B. Hörgeräte zurück. In einer prospektiv angelegten klinischen Studie wurde im Rahmen einer routinemäßigen Hörgeräteanpassung siebzehn meist hochgradig schwerhörigen Patienten das von der Schweizer Firma Phonak entwickelte, volldigitale Hörgerät Supero 412 angepasst, das sich zum Zeitpunkt der Studie noch nicht auf dem Markt befand, von der Firma jedoch bereits im Vorfeld als bahnbrechendes Gerät insbesondere für die Kinderversorgung empfohlen wurde. Um den Eindruck des neuen Supero 412-Hörgerätes auf die Patienten im Alltag subjektiv zu erfassen, wurden drei für jeweils unterschiedliche Altersgruppen ausgelegte Fragebögen verwendet, in denen die Zufriedenheit der Patienten, die fast alle Erfahrung mit dem Tragen von Hörgeräten hatten, jeweils zu den Vorgeräten und den neuen Supero 412-Geräten festgehalten wurde. Durch apparative audiometrische Untersuchungsverfahren wurden die subjektiven Fragebogenergebnisse anschließend geprüft. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass das neue Hörgerät Supero 412 von der Mehrheit der Studienteilnehmer im Vergleich mit ihrem bereits getragenen Hörgerät abgelehnt wurde. Die Gründe für die Ablehnung waren hauptsächlich das Auftreten von unbeherrschbaren Rückkopplungen - obwohl das neue Hörgerät über ein spezielles Rückkopplungskontrollsystem verfügt -, das mangelhafte Sprachverstehen durch verstärkte Nebengeräusche, die Größe des Hörgerätes, die Klangqualität sowie die schwierige Handhabung und Bedienung der digitalen Geräte. Programmierungsschwierigkeiten und technische Probleme traten bei der Anpassung auf, die damit zusammenhingen, dass die Geräte noch den Status der Prototypen hatten und erst im Laufe der Studienzeit für den Markt zugelassen wurden. Von den Patienten positiv beurteilt wurden die Fortschritte im alltäglichen Verstehen und das verbesserte Richtungshören. Ebenso wurden die Flexibilität durch die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Programme für unterschiedliche Hörsituationen einzustellen, sowie die Widerstandsfähigkeit des Hörgerätes gelobt. Im Endeffekt wurde das Gerät nur von vier der siebzehn Patienten, wobei es sich um drei Kinder und einen Erwachsenen handelte, akzeptiert. Da in der Zwischenzeit hochwertige digitale Hörgeräte mit besserer Technik, kleinem Gehäuse und ohne Rückkopplungspfeifen auch von der Firma Phonak auf den Markt gekommen sind, die in der Kinderversorgung sogar ohne Zuzahlung angeboten werden, kann nach den Ergebnissen unserer Studie das Supero 412-Gerät nicht empfohlen werden.
