Company Profile
HATIS Corporation is the leader in the Assistive Communications Technology
market with its Hearing Aid Telephone Interconnect Systems (HATIS ) unique,
patented sound interconnection system enables individuals with moderate-to-
profound hearing loss to hear conversation when using hearing aids and tele-
phone handsets. HATIS customers experience greater confidence, superior
resonance, little or no electromagnetic interference, longer hearing aid battery
life, and lower stress levels than that provided by ordinary neck loops,
silhouettes, volume control, TTY, or hearing aid compatible devices. HATIS
can be connected to cellular, cordless, and landline telephones along with the
new web-enabled, handheld computer PDA communications products.
HATIS patented telecoil inductive coupler was developed in the late 1980’s. As
a child the inventor of HATIS discovered a correlation between magnetism and hearing aids while playing with
a U-shaped magnet around her body=worn hearing aid. For the first time she was able to hear the every day
sounds that surrounded her. As an adult with profound hearing loss, she invested several years in the research,
development, and patent processes of the HATIS coupling ear hook used with hearing aids. This new technology
allowed the inventor to hear and speak on the telephone for the first time in her life.
Alice Morgan, President/Founder of HATIS Corporation, discovered the HATIS product in 1995. In January 1999, Ms. Morgan purchased the HATIS patent and later that same year the HATIS Corporation was formed. Ms. Morgan is committed to reaching the hard-of-hearing and deaf communities and making HATIS technology available to every person using a hearing aid.
Ms. Morgan assured customers that all HATIS products would be held to the highest standards of quality control one would expect in a headset on board a NASA spacecraft and assembled by a significant number of minority/disabled persons. The HATIS product line is currently manufactured in the USA and is ISO 9001/EN 46001 certified, with factory standards equivalent to those demanded for components used in pacemakers, hearing aids, and surgical devices manufactured in the same plant. These same standards will apply to all HATIS products, regardless of where they are manufactured.
HATIS hearing aid headsets are available through authorized HATIS distributors. Clinical audiologists and hearing aid dispensers nationwide are also rapidly joining the HATIS Corporation distribution team to accommodate local consumers' requests to test HATIS products.
HATIS products have been featured on the Today Show, national radio, television, and news media, including Business Week, Hearing Health Care, The Hearing Journal, Wireless Week, and Working Woman Magazine.
HATIS Corporation recently announced their European Union CE-Mark (Communauté Européenne) compliance and designation. With the CE-Mark compliance, HATIS products will be able to be sold throughout the european community. This mark assures manufacturer conformity to all CE-Mark standards.
