introducing eversound
to your community
in action
Eversound is an engagement amplifier that removes communication barriers, empowering
senior living communities to deliver extraordinary care in both group and one-on-one
situations. While the Eversound headphone system improves hearing whether or not the
user wears hearing aids, we discourage staff members from referring to Eversound as
an assistive-hearing device or hearing aid, as this could cause further social isolation by
creating a stigma around Eversound.
Getting everyone at your community engaged and excited about Eversound by introducing it
properly will ensure you get the most from your Eversound experience.
