So, what is myhearinghealth.com? As much as I would love to tell you exactly what this site is, I can't. It's not that I am being evasive or cautionary, the real issue is I truly don't know what myhearinghealth.com is - you do. You see, this is your creation. Maybe you can relate to it in this way: Clarity is planting a seed and taking a back seat as all the elements come together to help it grow.
For the past several months we have been working with audiologists, hearing health professionals, advocates, designers and a multitude of our own internal staff. Any other day, that would be a description of how Clarity develops a new product; however, myhearinghealth.com is not a product. It's something more akin to a living, breathing thing - and it's up to you to give it life.
While Clarity has provided the funding to build and maintain this site, we are relying on the community - your community - to create something that will live outside the world of "Clarity". Right now you can submit material to be posted on the site. It's our hope that as the site grows over the coming months, we will be able to bring more immediate access, so you may post comments, links to exciting developments, insert images and communicate across boundaries: both real and ideological.
Clarity is not here to police, edit, revise or make this only about our products. Eventually we will have moderators who will ensure the tone of myhearinghealth.com is something positive for the community. And yes, Clarity will provide access to every submission as long as it isn't patently offensive or untrue.
So, welcome to myhearinghealth.com, whatever that may be. Whatever you may make it.
