ROSEVILLE, Calif., Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire -- InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (OTC: INND) ("InnerScope"), an emerging and disruptive leader in the Direct-to-Consumer Hearing Technology space, is pleased to announce today a partnership with Giant Eagle, Inc., ("Giant Eagle") a neighborhood grocery and pharmacy chain. The companies have partnered to deploy InnerScope's automated self-check hearing screening kiosk ("Hearing Kiosk") in selected Giant Eagle's supermarkets in Pennsylvania and Ohio. The partnership with Giant Eagle, one of the largest retailers in the nation, broadens 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
- 840 W. 3rd Ave., Columbus, Ohio
The Hearing Kiosks are prominently located within the Giant Eagle Pharmacy Department, which serves millions of consumers. Giant Eagle’s 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. Moreover, 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.
InnerScope and Giant Eagle will continue to strategically deploy InnerScope's Hearing Kiosks within Giant Eagle's 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 ("Hearing Products") for Giant Eagle customers to purchase in-store right off the shelf or purchase the Hearing Products online at www.gianteagle.com to be shipped directly to their home. Currently, until the hearing products are launched in-store, Giant Eagle guests can go to http://gianteagle.myheariq.com and receive exclusive discounts offered for purchasing Hearing Products.
Jim Tsipakis, executive vice president of pharmacy at Giant Eagle, stated: "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. 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."
Matthew Moore, president and CEO of InnerScope, stated: "InnerScope is thrilled to have the opportunity to bring affordable hearing solutions to millions of Americans through Giant Eagle's incredible and expansive network of over 470 neighborhood grocery and pharmacy stores. Partnering with Giant Eagle, one of the nation's largest retailers, is a tremendous opportunity for InnerScope to broaden its reach to help more of the 48 million Americans who currently suffer from hearing loss to access more affordable choices of hearing aids to treat their hearing loss. We believe having convenient access to free self-check hearing screenings with InnerScope's Hearing Kiosks and its affordable hearing aids will lead the tens of millions of Americans to treat their hearing loss sooner rather than later by purchasing hearing aids, preferably one of InnerScope's Hearing Products. Moreover, we are excited to work with Giant Eagle's management to expand on their new hearing health category for in-store and online sales."
