On October 19, 2000, the first unofficial meeting was held, establishing the Audibel brand in the pursuit of hearing excellence. Over the next 20 years, it grew from a fledgling organization to a national network committed to providing the very best in better hearing. Now, the group is “preparing to revolutionize the next generation of hearing health care through focused practice development tools and programs for an unparalleled experience in the age of AI and the digital patient”.
“The best is yet to come, because the science has never been this good,” said Austin. “Over the next 20 years, more people than ever will need our help overcoming their hearing loss. Combined with the technological breakthroughs that are on the horizon, we will do better than we’ve ever done before.”
“Audibel’s greatest strength is the spirit of its people. In recent months, I’ve had the honor of being introduced to this extraordinary group of hearing healthcare professionals. I look forward to growing these relationships in the years to come, as we work aggressively to strengthen our mutual success and prosperity.”
