Research QuickTakes Volume 8: Hearing Aid Fitting Toolbox v2: Non-audiologic Considerations in the Selection and Fitting of Hearing Aids
Signia CEU courses
Presented by H. Gustav Mueller, PhD, Brian Taylor, AuD
Text/Transcript
Course: #39883Level: Intermediate8 Hours
This course reviews the prevalence of hearing loss, unmet hearing care needs, followed by a review of “stages of change” models and patient-centered care. We further discuss issues that can impact success with hearing aids such as: percept of problem, locus of control, listening fatigue, empowerment, and self-esteem. In the final section, we address the issue of mental health, and how HCPs can be involved with this important issue.
