What is the next step when Hearing Aids just don't cut it? | Nimi Naran | Audika | Ep 21

What is the next step when Hearing Aids just don't cut it? | Nimi Naran | Audika | Ep 21

Nimi Naran, the Head of Medical Services and Clinical Projects at Audika Australia and New Zealand (Demant's retail brand) speak about her experience creating systemic change in the way implant referrals are conducted. She shares some of the challenges she faced and some really valuable points on how we can motivate teams to adopt new systems and processes to help improve the lives of their client's.  

Editors Note: 36:40 "I'm excited for how hearing healthcare will be developing... to reduce the number of people getting dementia." Preliminary research has shown links with hearing loss and co-morbidities like dementia, but more studies are required to establish the precise causal relationship and whether treating loss will reduce the risk of developing dementia.
