HADB/3.0 Hearing Aid Related; IHS/3.0; Kansas DHE, LTS-S0035/3.0 Course Abstract Many patients who could use amplification choose not to. In this course, new data that uncovers the reasons for this reluctance will be presented. Further, the initial experiences of those who are fit for the first time may be different than what is expected by many audiologists. Changes in technology and fitting practices may offer patients benefits sooner than is traditional with a reduced level of side effects. These observations are important when considering techniques to motivate the reluctant patient to consider trial use of amplification. This seminar will examine potential changes in patient counseling to address the concerns and expected experiences of first time users.
