Today, Demant's Hearing Aids business announces that the ongoing efforts within person-centered care will be fully integrated into the Group’s hearing aid brand activities. Hence, we are closing down the Ida Institute brand as well as the associated Ida Learning Hall.
We always strive to put the user and the customer at the center of everything we do, and therefore we will continue the commitment to person-centered care as the standard of care. Going forward, developments will be driven through our hearing aid brands and provide solutions and tools that together with our technology, supports Hearing Care Professionals in applying a person-centered care approach throughout the entire user journey.
We are grateful for the big and long-standing efforts of the Ida Institute, its employees, and the many partners to bring person-centered care to the field of hearing care. The work of the Institute has been instrumental in ensuring that clinicians have best practice available and that people with hearing loss receive the best possible care for their hearing needs. We are looking forward to continuing the journey under the new setup.
Please contact your usual local representative for any questions you might have. For further guidance on how to access materials, use of Ida badge etc. please see the FAQ below.
