e3 Diagnostics has over 100 technicians covering approximately 60,000 service and repair appointments per year. We asked two of our most experienced technicians to pass along some easy tips that could possibly help you avoid unforeseen downtime and inaccurate results.

e3 Diagnostics has been growing and expanding our service offering to occupational health and safety customers for the last several years. Recently, we have joined forces with two very well-respected companies to help us serve you even better. Chesapeake Occupational Health Solutions (Hanover, MD), owned by Stephanie Billing, was acquired in June 2021. Then in January 2022, SRMI Consulting (Mountain, WI) owned by Lindor “Skip” Maletzke, joined forces with e3 Diagnostics as well.

2021 was quite the year! In addition to continuing to navigate the twists and turns of life with the COVID pandemic, our industry also faced some unique chaos of its own. Living in a world with virtually NO EARTIPS!!!

Software keeps getting smarter. So smart that it’s allowing simple hardware, such as smartphones and tablets, to do incredible things. A great example of this is Oticon’s ON app, which allows users to adjust the volume of their hearing aids, change listening programs, and much more from their smart devices.  

At this year’s Empower Conference, Gregory Ollick Jr. of e3 Med-Acoustics and Suzanne Younker, Au.D., CCC-A, FAAA of Your Hearing Network (YHN) teamed up to deliver a video presentation titled Tele-audiology Solutions for the Modern Practice.

Occupational safety and health efforts are not only valuable in the workplace, but can be applied to non-occupational situations as well.
