Natus Sensory and Oaktree Products Join Forces to Expand Access to Hearing Healthcare

Update Expanding Access to Advanced Audiology Solutions Natus Sensory, a global leader in sensory and diagnostic solutions, has unveiled a strategic partnership with Oaktree Products that aims to enhance the availability of diagnostic hearing assessment technologies across the United States. By tapping into Oaktree's established relationships within the audiology community, Natus hopes to improve patient outcomes significantly and increase the adoption of their advanced diagnostic tools. Leveraging Established Networks for Greater Impact The collaboration is built upon Oaktree's three decades of reliable service as a distributor of clinical supplies and diagnostic equipment in the hearing healthcare industry. Known as a "one-stop shop" for hearing professionals, Oaktree's deep connections with audiologists, hearing instrument specialists, and ENT clinics will facilitate the introduction of Natus Sensory's innovative technologies to a broader audience. Broader Reach Through Special Instrument Dealers A unique feature of this partnership is the engagement of Oaktree's network of Special Instrument Dealers (SIDs). These independent distributors will play a crucial role in providing frontline product expertise, ongoing support, and localized services to audiology practices. This model ensures that Natus Sensory’s advanced audiology solutions can reach clinics through trusted channels that practitioners already know and rely on. The Vision for Improved Patient Outcomes According to Lon Nelson, Chief Commercial Officer at Natus Sensory, this partnership enables the company to broaden its reach while retaining control over key strategic accounts. This alignment of efforts is expected to facilitate a significant expansion in the uptake of diagnostic audiology solutions, ultimately leading to better care for patients dealing with hearing loss. Commitment to Supporting Hearing Care Professionals The partnership also aligns with Oaktree's mission to provide exceptional service and support for hearing care professionals. President Michael Kemp emphasized that the collaboration with Natus Sensory allows Oaktree to introduce quality diagnostic innovations to their existing customer base, enhancing their overall ability to serve the hearing healthcare community. Looking Ahead: The Future of Audiology Services This partnership is not just about expanding product availability; it marks a significant step towards enhancing the healthcare ecosystem for hearing professionals. As both companies work together, the focus will remain on improving the patient journey via effective hearing evaluations and personalized treatment options like tinnitus management and hearing aid fittings. As the partnership takes effect immediately, both companies are poised to support expanded sales and clinical engagement initiatives throughout 2026 and beyond. It’s an exciting time in the field of audiology, and industry professionals can look forward to utilizing cutting-edge technologies to improve patient care.
