InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc. Press Release:
ROSEVILLE, Calif., Jan. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via OTC PR WIRE — InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: INND) announced the latest “Grand Opening” of its newest audiological hearing aid retail clinic under its dba brand “Value Audiology & Hearing Aid Center” (“Retail Clinic”) located in Sacramento, California. In addition, InnerScope has signed Letters of Intent (“LOIs”) for long-term leases on two more Retail Clinics located in Elk Grove and Fremont California to be slated to open in early February 2019. InnerScope is continuing to deliver and execute on its previously announced expansion rollout plan by opening at least 22 new audiological hearing aid retail clinics throughout Northern California in 2019 (“Rollout Plan”).
InnerScope’s Rollout Plan of locating each Retail Clinic is based on key location demographic revenue drivers, such as, age, income, and high density populated areas. According to surveys conducted by www.hearingtracker.com, approximately 35% of the U.S. population age 65 or older has hearing loss that may benefit wearing hearing aids but only 15% of those people currently wear hearing aids (“Conversion Rate”). Also, according to www.hearingtracker.com the industry average price sold is $2,372 (“Average Price”) per unit (a unit equals one hearing aid) and equal to 1.84 number of units purchased per person (“Binaural Rate”) meaning, 84% of the time a person purchases two hearing aids (units).

“Once we complete our Northern California expansion the potential market yield will be in the billions of dollars in hearing aid revenue. This is not even including the repurchasing cycle for new hearing aids every three to five years on the average and coupled with over 10,000 people everyday in the U.S. turning 65 years old, the potential market yield is really almost unlimited. InnerScope’s business plan and expansion Retail Clinic model is very scalable, there is nothing holding InnerScope back to continue to expand in all major markets across the United States,” Mr. Moore concluded.
