Just for the record: I also hold Dr Donald Schum in the highest regard. What he has done for me by giving me my Oticon™️ brand More1®️ hearing aids, has restored a great deal of quality (previously lost to the incompetence of my so-called audiologist at Sonova’s captive schiller - Connect Hearing) to my life.
Whether the recuperation is due to the devices he helped to develop, or to the skill of my ex-audiologist (Edit: and not the Connect one … my next-to-last one ) is not of material importance to me. All I know is that I believe I’ve watched all of his available videos and read all his papers. I’ve come away wiser from each and every encounter with his work. How can any Oticonian not admire and respect him?
My hope is that he joined the Whisper organization because he believes in their vision and their power ro realize it, and not because some Don Corleone of Silicon Valley made him such a lucrative offer that he couldn’t turn it down. I would be deeply stricken, were the latter the case.
Let nobody represent my views of this brilliant man otherwise.
