Laurin was great. An error was made in replacing a hearing aid and Laurin immediately took ownership of the issue. She was very apologetic, kind and compassionate. Plus, she persuaded the Provider to expedite sending the proper replacement, provided us with a loaner hearing aid and proactively found time on her calendar for us to come back in within a week. So very kind!

I was in for a hearing aid check, but Dr. Sharp was able to shift gears when I said that I had an ear infection while out of town that had affected my hearing.

Disclosures

Laurin E. Sharp, AuD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg. To learn more about our Disclosure and Professional Integrity Policy, and the conflict of interest policies of our joint affiliate survey partners, please go to our Office for Regulatory Affairs Policies page.
