Listen Later

HearUSA President Nick Mengerink outlines the company’s strategy to tackle the large unmet need in hearing care, including opening 25+ sleek “Centers of the Future” by March 2024. These revamped spaces feature welcome hubs for client intake, innovation walls showcasing the latest technology, and upgraded private consultation rooms to optimize appointments. The goals are improving accessibility, transparency and comfort to reduce hearing aid stigma.

As part of a wide ranging discussion, Mengerink emphasizes that the increase in insurance coverage and advancements in hearing care technology will persist in driving the industry's growth. He compares the potential for hearing care to attain mainstream status akin to routine dental and vision care. HearUSA is strategically leveraging contracts within the expanding managed care sector to make a broader impact on people's lives affordably.
Despite existing challenges, Mengerink remains hopeful due to the positive outlook of enhancing the visibility of hearing healthcare and meeting the rising demand.
