As a newly graduated Audiologis­t, Rosanne McNamee, Doctor of Audiology, had many interviews for positions at local companies. At each establishm­ent she found the same the interviews had nothing; ing to do with her knowledge and skills, they instead focused on the number of hearing aid units she was expected to sell and the company’s affiliatio­n to a given Manufactur­er.

“That was not my idea of proper hearing health care,” says McNamee. “I came into this profession to improve my patients’ quality of life. I wanted to focus on my patients’ needs, not sales. I wanted to be able to consider

everything available to them in the market, not just the product lines that provided my employer the biggest profit margins. I wanted to be driven by satisfied customers and by the smiles on their and their loved one’s faces.” And so she decided to set up her own business, Hearing Solutions Clinic, doing it her way and putting patients first. Hearing Solutions Clinic was founded in 2001 and is still going strong a decade and a half later.
