The Opportunity
Actually making a difference
in a person's life that lives with hearing loss is a very powerful
gift. Smart Hearing and Balance is bringing technology out of the hidden
realms in Audiology and into the consumer's hands. No longer is
purchasing a hearing aid the one and only way to help with hearing loss.
Today's technology gives the consumer help with everyday situations through
Bluetooth and new wireless features. Our place will be the first to
harness a showroom of accessories from amplified telephones, custom earphones
for ipods, mp3s and cell phones, technology for tablets and PCs, technology for
restaurants, hearing protection, wireless TV amplifiers and much
more.
- Dr. J.M. Gryska has been a practicing Audiologist for
almost 15 years and has learned that consumers have traditionally only had
the option of hearing aids to help with all situations, only to be mostly
unsatisfied. Technology is raising the options to help with hearing
aids. One of the biggest problems has been that the consumer is
not usually told about these options most likely due to sales profits
being much higher with hearing aids.
- Dr. Gryska is campaigning to open stores specializing
in these devices. Your donation will help the prototype store open
in Overland Park, Kansas. Please donate as these stores will be
nationwide- we just need to get the first one opened!
- Your donation has the potential to make many people
happy! Imagine finding out that you don't have to skip going to a
party or a restaurant (can lead to depression) because your hearing aids
don't do enough! These products have the potential to be life
changing! They do not cure hearing loss, but they will make a marked
difference in a loved ones' life.
You can be amazing!
Here's how:
- We need funding to get the space build-out, furniture
and products ready to go in the next few months. The store will be
modern, high tech looking similar to an 'Apple" store- the next
generation of consumers will have a comfortable place to get repairs done
to hearing aids and plenty of new technology to listen to.
- And, we have great perks! The Smart Hearing name
is going to be nationwide, perks ranging from a donor t-shirt (with the
Smart Name )to a 20% off discount for your loved one for the first
year of business (online or in store). Let's face it, we all know
someone that could benefit from our products. (Hey, you don't have
to have a hearing loss to benefit from custom earplugs and earphones)
- If we don't reach our entire goal, the funds will be
used in the same way, but we will have to go personally to more investors
to get the ball rolling!
Our Passion
Our passion is to expand the
limited choices people have with hearing loss. Actually, the
technology is rapidly improving with accessories to hearing aids and hearing help
for different situations. We just need help getting the technology to the
people. And yes, we do believe that it will take a lot of marketing to
educate people that we are not just another hearing aid dealer.
- 1 in 5 Americans have hearing loss (according to
Hopkins Medicine).
- With BabyBoomers dominating the consumer market
and growing exponentially every year, consumer base will continually grow.
- Dr. Gryska (A.uD) is a leader in the industry,
keeping only the highest trained professionals to lead the path toward a
much better hearing lifestyle for the future.
