Sounds of Summer: A Hearing and Speech Event

Middletown, NY (PRWEB) May 23, 2013

Summertime evokes thoughts of fun in the sun: picnics, pools, beaches and vacations. Sunscreen is on everyones summer shopping list but summer can be hazardous to more than your skin. Potential risks to your ears from loud sounds such as outdoor concerts, fireworks, lawn mowers and other motorized vehicles are everywhere as well as the impact of air travel and altitude changes which can cause damage particularly if sinuses and ear canals are already congested from a summer cold or allergies. Hudson Valley Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) is hosting an information session and free hearing screenings for listeners of all ages just in time for the summer months. Join audiologists and physicians at Hudson Valley ENTs offices on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

Healthy hearing is important at every season and every stage of life, says Debra L. Dziedzic, Senior Audiologist, Hudson Valley ENT. Babies who have trouble hearing dont learn to speak properly because they need to be able to hear and then copy the sounds made by their parents and others around them. School-age children can learn only if they can hear their teachers. In adults, hearing loss can develop gradually but become noticeable relatively quickly.

A representative from Phonak, a hearing aid provider, will be in attendance to answer questions and provide additional information about the companys hearing products. Additionally, Dr. Phillip Massengill, a physician at Hudson Valley ENT and professionally trained opera singer, will provide a demonstration and information on vocal cords. Light refreshments will be provided.

Hudson Valley Ear, Nose & Throat, P.C. is located at 75 Crystal Run Road, Building B, Suite 220, Middletown, NY. For more information, please call 888.350.1368 or visit http://www.hudsonvalleyent.com.

Broadcore Delivers Speech Recognition Solution for Ardwin Freight

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 15, 2013

Broadcore today announced that they have successfully deployed their latest speech recognition product offering for Ardwin Freight.

The speech recognition application asks customers the city and state they are calling from in order to ensure that the call is successfully routed to an operator that can best assist them. By expanding the capability of their BroadSoft telephony platform managed by Broadcore, Ardwin Freight are now able to take advantage of an on net speech enabled IVR service.

Previously when we wanted to use any advanced IVR or speech recognition services we had to send calls off net and hair pin calls to another IVR providers platform. This meant the cost to service these calls was too great. By speech enabling our own telephony platform we are now able to manage our costs more effectively with the added bonus of much tighter integration said Edwin Sahakian, President - Ardwin Freight.

We have been working with Inference Solutions for some time now to establish an advanced IVR and speech recognition service offering that integrates natively with our BroadWorks platform. We are now able to offer all of our customers both inbound and outbound speech recognition applications that can deliver far greater automation opportunities at a much lower cost said Alan Pourafzal, Director of Client Services at Broadcore.
