Exciting Things to Come from the CQ Audiology Advisory Council

Advisory Council
CQ Partners 20-person Council is comprised of Audiologists from all across the country in a variety of clinical settings; all with a common goal of bridging clinical and business best practices to better serve patients with hearing loss.

Purpose of The Council

The Council brings together experts in the field of audiology and provides our peers with collateral that focuses on business and clinical strategies. With a collaborative force of 20 people all deployed in a variety of settings, the Council has a pulse on what’s happening in the audiological industry. With providers in universities, hospitals, private practices, and start-ups, we bring forth a variety of unique perspectives, providing a well-rounded approach for providers in any setting.

“Together, we aim to be a unique forum that looks at best practices from both the business and audiological lenses. In an industry filled with noise from multiple disruptors, we provide tangible support not only for your business, but from a clinical approach.” ~ Dr. Heather Carter Olander
