ReSound has teamed with Bosma Enterprises, a not-for-profit company based in Indianapolis, to provide hearing aids for a number of government agencies in Indiana.
ReSound will provide products and services that benefit people with disabilities, illnesses or injuries in support of a multiple award contract with Bosma, which provides rehabilitative services and employment opportunities to state residents who are blind or visually impaired.
"The mission of Bosma Enterprises centers around lowering the staggering 70 percent unemployment rate among people who are blind," said Heather Quigley-Allen, senior director of Marketing and Resource Development at Bosma Enterprises. "Our collaboration with ReSound means we can help create vocational opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired while at the same time support hearing-impaired 'Hoosiers' by enhancing their quality of life."
GN ReSound is a provider of hearing aid devices and accessories for government agencies in Indiana. Under a new contract with the Indiana Department of Administration, ordering and customer service support will be provided by employees from Bosma Enterprises who are blind or visually impaired, utilizing a recently launched e-commerce platform.
"ReSound has always been committed to helping people hear better," said Tom Woods, vice president of Sales for ReSound. "This latest strategic agreement with Bosma Enterprises takes this another step further. This exciting opportunity allows us to assist both the hearing impaired and the visually impaired."
GN ReSound (www.gnresound.com) is part of the GN ReSound Group, a provider of hearing instruments and diagnostic audiological instrumentation.
