Biography
Pavlovic I graduated from the Academie fur Horgerateakustik, Loebeck, Germany in 1999 with a degree in hearing aids acoustics. During his studies, he successfully completed weekly seminars at Siemens Audiology Technics, Germany (Fitting hearing aids in children) and at Phonak, Stuttgart (FM-systems), as well as a one-day course at the University of Frankfurt am Main (BAHA implants). In 2003, he established his company Slušni centar Pavlović d.o.o., and is the only professional in Croatia with a degree in Acoustics. In 2005, he worked on drafting of the Ordinance on indications and distribution of hearing aids for the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Croatia. This Ordinance has since been occasionally amended, but is still in force. His main contribution was defining the indications for two hearing aids. The company MedEL has authorized him to perform fittings for their implanted hearing aids, and he is the only professional in Croatia to have been given such authorization.
