Spread the word!

Right after Thanksgiving last year, Oticon Medical formally launched a new community for Ponto wearers and caregivers to Ponto wearers in the United States, Oticon Medical Friends. Our goal was to create a safe, private space for wearers and caregivers to share their experiences with their Ponto bone anchored hearing systems, ask each other for advice and tips, and learn from one another’s experiences with hearing loss and treatment. Additionally, the community provides more direct access to Oticon Medical employees for assistance with questions related to technology, insurance, and best practices as well as the opportunity to share ideas for product and service advancements.

Features designed to empower Ponto users and caregivers

Oticon Medical Friends provides helpful features for new and experienced Ponto wearers and caregivers, including:

• Easily viewable information on your Ponto device(s), including warranty information. This information is stored securely in your Profile, so only you can see it.
• Groups dedicated to different subjects relevant to you. You can easily browse and find the groups that reflect your everyday interests and experiences.
• A resource library with downloadable material to make life even easier with your device. All materials are made exclusively for Oticon Medical Friends members.
• Direct messaging. Talk directly and privately with other Oticon Medical Friends community members as well as Oticon Medical employees.
• A first look at new products and accessories. Find out first what we are working on and offer suggestions for what you’d like us to develop.
• Coming soon: Exclusive offers and contests for members.
