Tools to Support Your Practice When Speaking About Cognition
Dr. Alyssa Ricevuto discusses what support offerings Phonak has to help enhance your patient conversations around the link between hearing and cognition.The Audibility Index: An Indispensable Counseling Tool for Modern Hearing Clinics
In the ever-evolving field of audiology, the Audibility Index (AI) emerges as a pivotal tool, bridging the gap between clinical assessments and patient counseling. In an insightful interview with AudiologyOnline, Clayton Fisher delves into the nuances of AI, a metric that revolutionizes the understanding and communication of hearing loss. Fisher, leveraging his extensive expertise, unveils how the AI, or Speech Intelligibility Index (SII), quantifies the percentage of speech audible to an individual, offering a tangible perspective on auditory impairments. With the advent of modern audiometry suites like Maestro by Inventis, the manual task of calculating AI has been simplified, allowing clinicians to focus on comprehensive patient care. Through real-world applications and patient reactions, Fisher underscores the AI's significance in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and fostering patient acceptance of their auditory conditions. This discussion not only highlights the clinical utility of AI but also prompts a reevaluation of traditional methods, advocating for a more nuanced approach to diagnosing and addressing hearing loss.An Interview with Cindy Olsen, AuD Private Practice Owner in Boise, Idaho for 25 years
