Ever since the creation of Cubex in 1964, a common goal shared by its founder Monty and now his son Adam Shulberg, has been to give people the freedom to enjoy the pleasure of effortless communication. 50 years on, and this goal continues to drive us.
Individualised care is the core of audiological care at Cubex. Treatment programmes are designed around your needs, your wants, your abilities and your preferences.
We believe that it is important to strike the balance between technology and individual abilities and preferences to help meet the unique needs of each patient.
Making a positive difference…
By making patient centered care the core of our practice we aim to positively influence the lives of people with hearing loss and, their loved ones. Our constant desire to enhance patient care continues to drive us and to challenge how we practice with one common goal – patient empowerment.
Why Cubex?
Cubex is a fantastic company that not only look at the bigger picture of audiology, but at the picture of life itself. Incorporating technology, health and wellness appealed to me. So far, it has been a great learning curve. We are constantly learning here at Cubex, it does not stop and I thrive on this. I look forward to engulfing myself in even more audiology so that I can provide the best possible service to our patients.
Kindness and honesty is what I pride myself on and what I give and hope to receive in all aspects of my life, especially at work. Cubex is an environment that reflects this.
What do you get up to outside of Cubex?
Health is a major aspect of my life. I work out 4-6 a week and try to eat a clean diet and already have been coined the ‘Cubex calorie calculator’ but don’t leave cheese around me (it will be gone in seconds)!
Since 2001, Cubex has worked with the Britain Nepal Otology Service (BRINOS) to help thousands of Nepali’s achieve better ear and hearing health and life quality. Adam Shulberg initiated the audiology programme and has made it his responsibility to facilitate, train and supervise a team of Community Ear Assistants (CEA’s) and to date, over 1000 volunteers.
Under the co-ordination of a team of CEA’s and Cubex (UK) an Audiology programme is now running in Western Nepal and offers a sustainable hearing care service. In developing countries this presents many difficulties. Hearing aids are sophisticated devices which require batteries and maintenance. Each hearing aid has to be fitted individually with a well fitting ear mould, verified and the patient and their family then require counselling and training. By training the Primary Ear Care workers in hearing aid fitting maintenance and counselling, Adam has established a fully sustainable hearing care service.
We are constantly working on ways to reach communities who are not aware of the ear camp to raise awareness on hearing loss, but more important, ways to prevent it. The primary prevention camp is ongoing and includes primary ear care workshops for parents and teachers, pre and primary school screening, identifying and referring high risk infants and more. We hope to make this process easier by acquiring the screening and equipment and tools necessary to complete infant screening.
It was always the aim to provide a fully sustainable program; that is the key. Nepali’s are proud people and their only wish is to be independent. All they need are the “tools” to continue this work. It is never easy taking the time out from a busy and demanding work life to make these trips, however, educating and supporting the Nepal based team has been a great source of pleasure, reward and joy for me and I look forward to meeting our aims and objectives.
