Giant Eagle to deploy hearing-screening kiosks
InnerScope's automated self-check kiosks now located in select Giant Eagle locations
Giant Eagle and InnerScope Hearing Technologies have partnered to deploy InnerScope's automated self-check hearing screening kiosk in selected Giant Eagle supermarkets in Pennsylvania and Ohio. The partnership with Pittsburgh-based Giant Eagle extends InnerScope's reach to help the 48 million Americans who have hearing loss and millions more who have undetected hearing loss due to not having convenient, free access to having their hearing tested.
The initial rollout of the Hearing Kiosks is at the following Giant Eagle locations: 100 Settlers Ridge Center Dr., Pittsburgh, Pa.; 4010 Monroeville Blvd., Monroeville, Pa.; 30275 Detroit Rd., Westlake, Ohio; 1700 Corporate Woods Parkway, Uniontown, Ohio; 6700 Perimeter Loop, Dublin, Ohio; and 840 W. 3rd Ave., Columbus, Ohio
InnerScope and Giant Eagle will continue to strategically deploy InnerScope's Hearing Kiosks within Giant Eagle's more than 470 locations throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland and Indiana.
The Hearing Kiosks are prominently located within the Giant Eagle Pharmacy Department, where guests can easily and quickly self-check their hearing (typically within 3 to 5 minutes), instantly see their results and have the results emailed to place with their records. In addition, the Hearing Kiosk's 32-inch digital display monitor provides important information about hearing loss and the multiple health and cognitive risks due to untreated hearing loss.
InnerScope and Giant Eagle will continue to strategically deploy InnerScope's Hearing Kiosks within Giant Eagle's more than 470 locations throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland and Indiana. In addition, Giant Eagle will be launching InnerScope's Direct-to-Consumer Hearing Aids and its other hearing health-related products for Giant Eagle customers to purchase in-store right off the shelf or purchase the Hearing Products online to be shipped directly to their home. Currently, until the hearing products are launched in-store, Giant Eagle guests can also go online and receive exclusive discounts offered for purchasing Hearing Products.
"We are excited about bringing InnerScope's Hearing Screening Kiosks and hearing health-related products into Giant Eagle's pharmacies. We understand the importance of maintaining proper hearing health and are committed to helping raise awareness for hearing-related health issues in our communities,” said Jim Tsipakis, executive vice president of pharmacy at Giant Eagle. “We look forward to offering a new Hearing Health Category, which will provide our communities with more affordable choices regarding their hearing health needs, including in-store and online purchases of InnerScope's Hearing Products. We want to give our guests the best tools necessary to live a healthy lifestyle. We are delighted to partner with InnerScope, a company that shares our mission to make customers' lives easier, healthier and happier."
In addition, since hearing aids are the most common treatment for hearing loss, the Hearing Kiosk provides recommendations of InnerScope's affordable hearing aid solutions and the importance of early treatment to help consumers make an informed decision to take the next step for their hearing health. Early treatment of hearing loss is crucial to reduce an individual's health and cognitive risks, including early onset of dementia, according to the company.
