What Are Hearing Care Best Practices, and Why Do We Follow Them?
Every industry has best practices, including hearing care. The hearing care industry’s best practices have been established by the American Academy of Audiology, as Dr. Cliff mentions in his video, which we have shared below for your info.
Allied Hearing has been following hearing care best practices since our founding. Because of this, we are able to provide a consistently superior level of quality of care for our patients. You can read more about the benefits of using best practices in hearing care in the next section below.

How Do Best Practices Improve Hearing Care Outcomes?
Assessment & Goal Setting
Our assessment process includes four steps: an in-depth interview, an examination of your ear called an otoscopy, a hearing test, and needs assessment, at which point we can begin to discuss if you would be a good candidate for hearing treatment and options available to you.
Technical Aspects of Treatment
Our hearing technology recommendation will take into account your hearing ability and your lifestyle preferences. We test all our devices before fitting them and verify through Real Ear Measurement Testing that you are getting the sounds at levels we expect. We are glad to offer assistive listening devices and accessories.
Orientation, Counseling, & Follow-up
During your orientation, you will receive instruction on and get to practice many aspects of what it’s like to use hearing aids. As part of your hearing care, you will receive expert guidance on what to expect while wearing hearing aids, along with follow-up care like reprogramming and clean & checks on a regular basis.
Assessing Outcomes
Benefit evaluation ensures that you are satisfied with your hearing aids and the experience you are having with them. You deserve the best, which is why our treatments are fully guaranteed, meaning we are committed to listening to your concerns and your devices are always perfectly fit to renew your world of hearing.
