Hearing Aids Users to Benefit from New Gruv Buttons™

(HALES CORNER, Wis.)—Hearing aid users will gain better access to and control over their receivers thanks to new devices called Gruv Buttons™, which were unveiled at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Wisconsin Alliance of Hearing Professionals, held Jan. 8-9 in Lake Delton, Wis.

Gruv Buttons™, a product line of Each Ear, LLC, are ergonomically designed to help Receiver-in-the-Canal (RIC) hearing aid users to use their fingertips to insert their receivers, thus solving three challenges:
1) Difficulty manipulating and controlling the small receivers,
2) Inserting receivers sufficiently deep in bending auditory canals, and
3) Overcoming users’ physical limitations and disabilities.

“Gruv Buttons™ significantly improve RIC hearing aid manageability and effectiveness,” Each Ear Founder and President Jeffrey Szmanda said. “Now users can truly benefit from the prescribed amplification.”

Gruv Buttons™ will be distributed to hearing care professionals in three models: The SoloGruv™, The TrueGruv™ and The WheelGruv™.

Also at the conference, Each Ear unveiled its “Practitioner Request,” a plea for hearing aid manufacturers to review and consider implementing the patent-pending Gruv Buttons™ for their RICs.

“We are very interested in helping people with physical disabilities and limitations use hearing aids with greater ease,” Mike Matus, vice president, sales & strategic solutions for Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin and Metropolitan Chicago, said. “We look forward to assisting Each Ear with the assembly and distribution of its Gruv Buttons.”

Hearing care professionals and hearing aid manufacturers can learn more about Gruv Buttons™ and the Practitioner Request at EachEar.com.

CSI Healthcare IT Earns Top KLAS Rankings

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.—CSI Healthcare IT consistently delivers quality consultants and service as one of the best Go-Live support firms, according to the recently released KLAS Go-Live Support 2015 performance report.

The report is an annual study on which firms perform the best in five areas—CSI Healthcare IT was No. 1 in Quality of Clinician Consultants and Elbow-to-Elbow Support, ranked in the top three in Project Management and Command Center Leadership and ranked in the top five in 24/7 Support.

“As we tell all of our clients, we are here to help make their job easier with the best processes and top HIT consultants, and these rankings prove it,” CSI Healthcare IT President Zack Wilson said. “Our proven processes and vast experience have led, and will continue to lead, to exceptional results for healthcare providers.”

In the Quality of Clinician Consultants ranking, HIT firms were ranked by their clients based on their ability to deliver quality clinician resources that establish credibility with clinicians, enable high physician adoption and help drive client satisfaction. According to one respondent, “we were well prepared by CSI Healthcare IT and very satisfied with the quality of the people we got.”

In Elbow-to-Elbow Support, firms were ranked based on their ability to work in tandem with providers to ensure physician adoption. According to one client who gave CSI high marks, “they were able to engage people during a stressful time and keep things rolling along.”
