Hearing aid verification, including real-ear and test box measurement, is commonly viewed as a best practice procedure during the hearing aid fitting process. Given ongoing industry disruptions in product offerings, changes in service delivery models and increasing competition, the need to provide proven clinical services that support practice success has never been greater.
This session will illustrate how the routine use of hearing aid verification can significantly benefit both the patient and the practice. Evidence supporting this perspective will be highlighted along with methods to effectively integrate verification into the clinic workflow. Tools and techniques that can be used to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and overall value of verification services with both traditional hearing aids and over-the-counter devices will also be reviewed.
