This is the 2nd episode of the miniseries dedicated to hearing aid fitting standards. In these podcasts we’re reflecting on the Audiology profession’s commitment to providing evidence-based clinical practises that lead to optimal patient outcomes.
Julia van Huyssteen is joined once again by Dr Gus Mueller, a US based consultant for WSAudiology and Founder of the American Academy of Audiology.
In this episode we talk about pre-fitting considerations including ‘self assessment pre-fitting questionnaires’, ‘uncomfortable loudness levels’, speech recognition tests and ‘speech in noise’ tests. We discuss why they are important, what factors to consider when choosing the test for the patient in front of you and how to incorporate the results into your hearing aid fitting.
