Reactivating Beyond Hearing Aid’s Blog

Judy Vinegar used to actively share her stories and ideas in this blog and she proved to be hard to replace. Her stories were so full of useful insights and practical advice that much of what she wrote is still relevant. But I realize that I needed to step up and continue to meet our goal of providing the best information possible to help people make informed decisions on ALDs.

As way of introduction, I’ve been working with ALDs for the past 15 years. I started the company, Beyond Hearing Aids, selling ALDs. I began training vocational rehabilitation counselors and then audiologists on ALDs and technical training became a large part of my career. For those who like details (fair warning), you can see the list of trainings and published books and articles in the ‘About Becky’ section of the website.

I’ve assembled an expert team who supports my vision of treating our customers with the utmost respect and empower them to choose ALDs to meet their personal needs. We’ve been really good at helping people once they call us. Now we are going to become really good at sharing our experience proactively.

Personal Pet-Peeve Incites ACTION

One of my pet peeves is looking at a company’s blog and not finding current, regular posts. I’ll be honest. It really hit hard when I owned up to the fact that I was one of those companies. This year I set a goal of improving communications with my customers and while I’ve been consistent in getting the ALD Newsletter out every month, I’ve not been as faithful with other means of sharing information.

So these are the two compelling reasons for reactivating this blog. I’m excited to share ideas and information on how ALDs have a place and purpose for people with hearing loss. Like everything else I do, I welcome your comments and thoughts.
