Bluetooth Technology, Cookbooks & Really Cool Shoes

pathwaysIn the presence of unlimited access to multiple social media platforms, it is really easy to get distracted while surfing the internet.  When seeking work-related particulars, because the information super-highway branches out in infinite directions, I sometimes end up at a completely different destination than originally mapped out. For example, I was recently Googling information on Bluetooth transmission for a colleague and somehow ended up buying a new wireless speaker for streaming music at home, followed by a cookbook that I pretty much don’t need.  Mind you, this all happened while trying to find a specific piece of hearing industry information that was simply buried under a number of somewhat related temptations that veered me way off course.

youtube_logoI share this story because one of the things we are trying to do at Oaktree Products is to resurrect our YouTube channel and offer our hearing industry customers easy-to-find information addressing topics that you and/or your patients would benefit from the most. If you are reading this sentence, you have the time to take another 10-20 seconds to click on and respond to the following quick three-question survey: Oaktree Products YouTube survey. Your feedback will be instrumental in helping us map out future QuickFlicks and Talking PowerPoints.  So, tell us what YouWant to see on YouTube and we will strive to deliver! Oh, and by the way, after you fill out the survey, if you accidentally end up buying a pair of shoes because you got distracted along the information superhighway, it’s not my fault. Just make sure they’re really cool shoes.

    Does the Quattro 4.0 pair with the Audiologist choice stethoscope? Amy

      Amy:
      The Audiologist Choice Stethoscope is not commercially available. Unfortunately, the device was plagued with signal transmission issues that either precluded necessary pairing between the AC-Scope’s amplifier and the hearing instrument streamer or, even when successfully paired, resulted in intermittency sufficient to interfere with performing clinical procedures. Refer to July 10, 2013 blog post titled Amplified Stethoscopes & Hearing Instruments – Current Solutions for details and current options.
