Patient Care
The standard of care in audiology for patients of all ages with hearing loss, tinnitus, hyperacusis, and auditory processing disorders is defined by centering around the needs of the patient. The American Academy of Audiology and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association have provided evaluation and treatment best practices guidelines for all patients with communication disorders. The basics are simple: keep the focus on the patient, remember their needs come before yours, keep the patient safe, provide service and products that are in the best interest of the patient, treat the family with dignity, and provide the greatest measurable benefit and outcome.
