"I think the striking design of the booth combined with the strong musical and interactive elements really distinguished our exhibit from the competition. Since our award was determined by attendees' votes, we obviously succeeded in providing our audience with something that was fun and memorable," says Paul Wennerholm, president and COO of Sonic Innovations. "We were particularly pleased to use the booth and the AudiologyNOW! conference to unveil Endura(TM), our new 12-channel super power behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid," Wennerholm noted.
