2010 Hear Better Now Class
The purpose of the class is to provide clients with information on how to get the most benefit from their new hearing aids. All clients are counseled at the time of their fittings but they receive a lot of information that day and may be overwhelmed. This class is a nice overview and participants are provided with several hand outs with suggestions and communication strategies to help them as well as their family members. Significant others are encouraged to attend.
Topics discussed include:
-
the audiogram
-
brief discussion of the anatomy of the ear
-
factors that influence communication – listener, speaker and environment.
