As he watched some of these workers being fitted with hearing aids at his family’s hearing healthcare practice years ago, Jean Nicholas Laperle became convinced that hearing loss had to be prevented, not treated after the fact. He felt the frustration of workers who learned, to their dismay, that hearing aids never fully restore hearing. The consequences were devastating for them. They often lost the ability to do their jobs for which they were trained. This affected not just income, but self esteem.
They suffered social isolation and psychological stress.
The successful development of the Sonomax Solution™ is just the beginning of the realisation of Jean Nicholas Laperle’s original vision of a new industrial environment where hearing protection takes priority over management of irreparable hearing loss.
The next step is to bring the benefits of Sonomax technology to consumers exposed to hazardous noise in recreation and sports, as well as the medical field.
By raising the awareness of NIHL, whether on the factory floor or the dance floor, and by developing the most effective hearing protection technology.
Sonomax is positioned to eliminate the No.1 occupational health disease: NIHL
