San Jose, CA, June 26, 2012 - RHUB Communications, Inc., the leader in web conferencing and remote support appliance technology, today announced it has partnered with Otovation to power its RemoteEAR technology, unique for the flexibility it gives hearing care professionals for conferencing and remote diagnostic services.

The technology enables an audiologist or other hearing care professional to perform an exam and provide face-to-face counseling with the patient using RemotEAR, a branded version of RHUB Communications’ web, video conferencing and remote desktop technology.

“We knew that RHUB’s web, video conferencing and hub technology would be an excellent platform for our RemoteEAR system,” said Dave Davis, president and CEO of Otovation. “We were looking for a solution that is secure, reliable and affordable, and RHUB’s technology met our needs better than any other product on the market.”

The diagnostic exam using RemotEAR can consist of audiometry, tympanometry, video otoscopy, and otoacoustic emissions testing. Use of RemoteEAR requires only a highspeed Internet connection, and can also be utilized in a local-area or wide-area network environment. The service enables hearing care professionals to control the diagnostic exam with the help of an assistant at the office where the patient is located, and provides a secure and robust set of features for managing the patient care process.

“The RemoteEAR system is a simple, affordable, secure and flexible way to assess patients at a remote office location, and we are thrilled to partner with Otovation,” said Larry Dorie, CEO of RHUB. "And it's a perfect example of how our technology is helping transform the way professionals work in today's world."
