A Vision of the Future Inspired by our Values The path of the professionals practicing in the Lobe clinics has always been marked by its core values, especially creativity, novelty, and commitment. These values are reflected in our unique approach, but also in our constant efforts to recognize each patient as a person when providing care. From our very beginning, we took the gamble of completely rethinking the traditional approach to hearing health, and it’s safe to say it was a success! By bringing together all hearing health professionals (ENTs, audiologists, audioprosthetists, and speech-language pathologists) under one roof, we have developed our own distinctive model. In the past, people who needed hearing health care had to visit several different offices to be seen by professionals, but no more. This centralization that we offer has proven to be wonderful for patients. We are driven to find new ways to serve people better, so the services our clinics provide have expanded over time. For instance, we have added a new type of professional: the specialized educator. We have been working with them for several years now, since they reflect our constant concern for patients’ well-being and our desire to provide personalized care.
Throughout their careers, the professionals practicing at Lobe clinics make a point of seeing each patient as an individual and committing to providing treatment that is tailored to each person’s unique needs. Specialized educators are an important part of that mission; they provide a human touch to patients’ care and help make sure that they are getting all the help and support they need. By making hearing health care more accessible, collaborative, and person-centred, our unique model has consistently set us apart and made us a leader for more than 20 years.
An assessment by an audioprosthetist is required to determine which hearing aid suits the patient’s needs.
