Founder of the spin-off HearingCampus.com:


Geschäftsidee ist eine App, mit der Jedermann zuhause sein eigenes Gehör testen kann. Die Möglichkeiten gehen dabei über einen normalen Hörtest hinaus: so kann mit unserer Lösung auch das Verständnis von Silben und Zahlen untersucht werden. Außerdem kann direkt aus der App heraus Kontakt zu einem Hörgeräteakustiker in der Nähe aufgebaut werden, wenn eine Hörminderung festgestellt werden sollte. Der Akustiker kann dann das zuvor mit der App erstellte Hörprofil auf Wunsch des Kunden auslesen und als Grundlage für die Einstellung von Hörgeräten verwenden. So sparen beide Seiten Zeit und es kann eine optimale Anpassung auf die Hörbedürfnisse des Kunden vorgenommen werden - bestehende Hörgeräteträger können die App nutzen, um ihr Hörvermögen laufend zu untersuchen und wenn nötig die Einstellungen ändern lassen. Dies schafft effektivere Arbeitsprozesse für den Akustiker und erhöht gleichzeitig die Zufriedenheit der Kunden. Wir agieren dabei als unabhängiges Bindeglied zwischen beiden Gruppen.
