Don’t Get Trapped in A Hearing Aid Only Approach

I couldn’t agree more. Hearing aid users and dispensers (audiologists) need to do away with this rationale that it’s only ever all about the hearing aid. I am able to do so many things now as a profoundly deaf adult that are the result of not only my hearing aid and cochlear implant but some cleverly selected assistive listening devices.

Today I share the fourth article in a series I am writing for Ida Institute on person-centered care. The first article was about what person-centered care means to me — the hearing loss patient. The second article discussed why partnering with your patient is so important. The third article described how to make your audiologist office hearing loss friendly. This fourth article talks about how important creativity is to successfully implementing person-centered care. I look forward to sharing the final article with you soon. 

Below find an excerpt from the fourth article. To read the full article, click here
