Editors and Contributors Comment on 9 Year Milestone
“I have been affiliated with HHTM since 2014, when Holly Hosford-Dunn asked me to guest blog for the Economics Section. That opportunity has since led to my role as Editor of the Economics Section, and I could not be more humbled to be a part of this remarkable media outlet,” commented Amyn Amlani, Ph.D. “Each Section Editor offers readers with practical, unique, and out-of-the-box perspectives that, I believe, have changed how we, professionally, provide treatment to our patients, operate our clinics, and render education to future clinicians. Congratulations, HHTM, on the nine-year anniversary…a toast for the many years still to come.”
“In its 9 years, Hearing Health & Technology Matters (other than being a mouthful to say), is now the premier go-to blog for hearing healthcare professionals and consumers alike. On a regular basis the contributors provide cutting edge ‘bottom lines’ in a readable and concise format,” said Marshall Chasin, AuD.
“Congratulations to HHTM for providing insights and research to the hearing loss community for the past nine years! Best wishes for many more years of informative and timely reporting.” Shari Eberts, Founder, LivingWithHearingLoss.com.
