Most audiologists would agree the professional landscape is changing. Over-the-counter and self-fitting hearing aids are on the horizon, reimbursement options, including the possibility Medicare will pay for hearing aids is looming in Washington DC, and telecare is fast becoming a routine part of clinical practice.
This changing landscape is spurring renewed interest in clinical standards, guidelines, and protocols. For example, the Audiology Practice Standards Organization (APSO) recently published clinical standards for fitting adults with hearing aids (see, https://www.audiologyonline.com/articles/20q-new-hearing-aid-fitting-27938). While standards tell us “what” we should be doing in the clinic to optimize patient outcomes, guidelines and protocols tell us “how” to conduct those best-practice standards.
