trade
The big players in the UK audiology market and profession have finally broken a long, uncomfortable silence on the confusing and—for some—alarming subject of Britain's exit from the European Union.
A six-page feature in the July/August UK edition of Audio Infos gave audiology manufacturers and associations a platform to voice their opinions on Brexit.

UK hearing scene and industry expert Geoffrey Cooling (www.audiologyengine.com) offers a frank interpretation of the thinking behind the statements, revealing the "uncertainty and horror" he detects among manufacturers, suggesting this "might be the first time the world ever witnessed a whole country shoot itself in the face".
