Corona's great conversion in the mask era

The hearing aid industry, which is the main subject of the elderly, is now at a major turning point.

In 2020, the flow of self -restraint in the elderly expanded and was hit greatly.

Due to the reaction, signs of recovery have become remarkable in 2021.

From January 2021 to December 2021, the Japan Hearing Aid General Industry Association's announcement, the number of hearing aids is as follows.

●補聴器出荷台数<589,951台（対前年104.7 %)

(※reference

Among them, the most notable is the hearing aid "ear type".

◆耳あな型補聴器<217,492台（補聴器全体の構成比36.9 %

In front of Corona, it was widely pushed by a small ear -type hearing aid from the good feeling of wearing and the difficulty of noticeable, but why was that???

The reason why the ear -type hearing aid was once again spotlighted in the first year of the corona evil

1、マスク装着の影響

* The ear -type hearing aid does not interfere with the mask.

2、デザイン・機能性を重視した耳あな型補聴器の登場

3、充電対応の耳あな型モデルが登場

others,

There is also a large entry from a different industry (= major electronics manufacturer) that does not belong to the hearing aid industry association.

The reason is that the nomination of the ear -type model has increased from the user side.

On the other hand, do not miss complaints to hearing aids!!

Complaints sent to the National Life Center

Especially complaints in mail order are conspicuous

I bought a hearing aid that anyone can attach, but it doesn't fit my ears.

Differences between hearing aids and glasses that are not well known

The most different hearing aid and glasses are not to fix the amplified volume (orthodontic degree in glasses).

● Points to increase the sounds that can be heard little by little while spending time

● There is a deterioration of the ear itself that does not return even if you wear a hearing aid

(Listening to the fast mouth, the existence of words and sounds that cannot be heard)

In order for the user to know these facts, there is a qualification in the industry, mainly certified by the hearing aid and the user.

Frequent hearing aid failure examples

1 Purchase something that does not suit your own hearing

2 I use something that doesn't fit my ears

3 I do not understand the limits of hearing aids

4 Appropriate adjustments and as a result "objective hearing effect"

5 Due to lack of information, there is no clear selection criteria,

Meanwhile, the "THE Hearing Aid Store Joint Company", which operates hearing aid specialty stores in Osaka city, has a unique challenge for appropriate supply of ear -type hearing aids.

Part 1

従来は「インプレッション」と呼ばれる粘土タイプの耳型採取形式（業界慣例）のみであったところ、2020年最新型の耳あな採取３Dスキャナー「Oto scan」を大阪府内では初導入した。

The reason for introducing "OTO SCAN" as soon as possible is

I felt strongly when I saw the Corona, "Is there an era where the non -contact era will be a major premise?"

Accurate ear type collection

The ideal ear type that can be more accurate is collected because it can be collected in an ascertic state and the effect of the expansion and contraction of the material.

Hygiene

In front of customers, the number of contacts is more hygienic than clay -type ear -type collection that kneads with traditional hands.

In addition, there is no need to deliver ear type to the conventional manufacturer, which will also reduce the delivery date.

The biggest neck was ... its introduction cost

The running cost of 2 million yen in initial cost and about 300,000 yen per year is not small for small stores.

Even with the conventional clay -type ear type collection, you can create an ear -type hearing aid, so you can nod that other stores will not introduce them.

Hearing aids that triggered the hearing aid industry boosted

Nakamura, the company's representative, joined the German hearing aid maker "Siemens Hearing Aid" in 2000.It was the hearing of his late grandfather.There was always a pee leak.(= Howling)

"I want to manage my grandfather's hearing aid," and took action, and began with interest in hearing aids.

It was a grandfather's ear, which was difficult to collect ear type due to its high hearing loss, but at that time, I thought that if there was this ear type 3D scanner "OTO SCAN", I would have been pleased., The biggest boost to introduce

Part 2 Implementation of "necessary and objective effect measurement at an early stage"

In 2019, a real introduction of the deciding hit, "Real Ear Measurement Method", which reaches a certain level of hearing aids from the initial stage.

The measurement is performed that tends to be shunned due to the cost, the number of man -hours on site, and the length of the time required.

→ It is not the conventional method that relys on the user's own subjective impression

Part 3

After the purchase, the style of the industry is a style that promotes regular visits for hearing aids, as well as hearing aid maintenance.On the other hand, as mentioned earlier, THE Hearing Aid Specialty Company has a style that reduces the number of users visits by creating hearing aids at a certain level at an early stage.

Furthermore, the Corona was introduced as soon as the "remote adjustment of hearing aids".Many simple fine adjustments after purchase are remotely corresponding.
