Company Profile
|
HATIS® Corporation is the
leader in the Assistive Communications
Technology (ACT) market with its Hearing Aid
Telephone Interconnect Systems® (HATIS).
HATIS' unique, patented sound
interconnection system enables individuals
with moderate-to-profound hearing loss to
hear conversations when using hearing aids
and telephone 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 1980s. 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 |
| "Now that I am hands free
for the phone, life has taken on
a whole new meaning!! I shared
my new toy with one of the local
hearing therapists yesterday to
great acclaim - she has a
cochlear implant and could use
my headset!"

| was able to hear the
everyday 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. |
