“Under the aegis of The BestSound Centre, we are constantly innovating new technological solutions and introducing advanced digital products, which offer high-quality listening experience to the
user, customised for their need,” he said.
According to him, hearing impairment or loss is often neglected which leads to delay in diagnosis in India.
There is a strong social, physical and psychological impact on an individual due to the stigma associated with hearing loss, he said.
“As an extension to our offerings, we are glad to spread our wings to the north eastern region of the country. This expansion is in line with our focus on taking hearing aids beyond devices to help people hear better and maximize every moment of their lives,” he said.
BestSound Center is one of the largest networks of hearing care professionals with over 290 centres spread across the country and aims at providing quality services to people.
Nawka and Signia have been working together for the past 25 years in the Northeast.
Being the pioneer in hearing healthcare in Northeast India, today Nawka HAC proudly runs 10 clinics across 5 Northeastern states.
Nawka said that they are extremely excited and proud to be in association with Signia.
“We believe hearing has a great influence on the overall development of an individual. Therefore, identification of hearing impairment is the very first step in addressing the issues related to it. With our advanced clinical technology and services, we hope to serve and benefit many people in and around Mizoram,” he said.
