Kevin Gifford

My name is Kevin Gifford, I have been working at Cochlear now for a little over 2 years. My first year I worked in the orders and insurance department. It was a great way to learn the ins and outs of insurance and to learn about Cochlear products. For the past year I have been a part of the Cochlear Recipient Solutions team. My job within the Cochlear Recipient solutions team is to educate recipients about the upgrade process. A lot of recipients like to use the Recipient Solutions team because it is a more personalized experience during the upgrade process. I look forward to meeting you!

Helpful Hints and Tutorials

    • Zoom concerns have been addressed and procedures will be modified as Zoom continues to update their software. The main security issue was with open meetings. When you register, it creates a unique link for a password protected session.
       
    • Use a computer. If possible, attend the meeting on a computer rather than via a smart phone or iPad. This will give you the best layout to view the captions as well as other meeting features.
  • Update Zoom. Make sure to upgrade to the latest version of Zoom.
  • Captions. HLAA Webinars are open or closed captioned. Subtitles will be visible at the bottom of the meeting zoom screen.
     
  • Check your time zone. This meeting will take place live at 4 p.m. ET, 3 p.m. CT, 2 p.m., MT and 1 p.m. PT. If you are in a different time zone, please adjust the time so you do not miss the meeting.
