Case Study: New Hope Hearing Solutions saves $40,000 with SHOEBOX

New Hope Hearing Solutions Saves $40,000 in Start-up Costs Using Boothless Audiometric Testing

New Hope Hearing Solutions, founded by Dr. Madonna Blair in Princeton, West Virginia, needed a cost-effective way to launch a private hearing practice quickly while keeping startup expenses low. The clinic also wanted a flexible, patient-friendly approach that would work well in a small rural community. SHOEBOX’s boothless, tablet-based audiometric testing solution fit that need.

By using SHOEBOX, New Hope Hearing Solutions opened about two months earlier than expected and saved an estimated $40,000 in startup costs, including about $15,000 in overhead. SHOEBOX also streamlined workflow with portable, paperless testing, instant cloud-based results, and easy-to-share screen-based test displays that improved patient engagement. Dr. Blair says the solution has become central to the practice’s audiological diagnostics and supports testing in a variety of locations, from primary care groups to health fairs and assisted living facilities.
