Another industry first from Piratecom - Introduction of children’s headsets designed for high noise boating environments. Reading, Pennsylvania - January 3, 2005 According to The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), approximately 12 out of every 1,000 persons with hearing impairment is under the age of 18. Meaning, at least one student in your child's school will have a hearing loss! The US Dept of Health and Human Services indicates that 5% of children under age 18 have hearing loss while the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) indicates 10 in each 1000 school age students have permanent sensorineural hearing loss. Piratecom’s headsets reduce noise levels more than 20 times! Since the founders of Piratecom are both family men, they were very sensitive to the unique risks associated with the high noise recreational boating environment and contributions it may have to these unfortunate statistics. *** Piratecom was formed with a simple goal in mind - to eliminate the noisy environment experienced on boats while improving communications in order to maximize enjoyment and safety while cruising. The company's mission is to lead the market by offering a full line of headsets, intercoms and electronic interfaces that are the most innovative and durable on the market. Piratecom's goals are to provide superior customer service, quality hearing protection and communication with products that are easy to use and affordable. |
