The takeout of this very good interview is that you can standardize the technology, you can standardize testing and fitting, but audiologists can not standardize patients. So, a good practice audiology should do deviations from standards adjusted to individual needs if optimal hearing help should be achieved. I’m only a 75-yr recent patient but with life science background with advanced degree during my working years, so this the take for me from this Dr. Cliff interview. Probably too technical for many patients, but very interesting for me actually realizing the complexity of finding, texting and fitting the best HA for any individual (not the marketing foolishness, money-driven and exaggeration speculating about “the best” HA). The “Best HA” should be taken off the market as way to mislead patients, instead audiologists should be presenting on regular basis individual cases. Then the public can decide what HA to purchase based on their own similarity, or prescription with the reported hearing outcome. This will be more helpful than this profit-madness driving the wrong marketing of HA that misleads the general public about HA.
This is great! You had me hooked at "dusty metalic rose." I am a proud owner of that early probe microphone measurement book. The authors explained everything simply and logically so you knew that conducting probe microphone measurements was not a daunting task. Gus Mueller influenced my career considerably. He always adds humor and perspective to his presentations and you do, too. The tone of your interview was just right. If you are considering future interviews, I'd love to hear from Dr. Anu Sharma and Dr. Hannah Glick. Thanks for your efforts.
So grateful for your show. hearing aids cost so much and because of your show audiology patients such as myself can educate themselves before choosing a provider and purchase
It is VERY important to make sure you select the best provider otherwise you are wasting your money.
With holidays, and end-of-year time crunches I had to put this podcast into my Save To Watch Later. Now that I’m catching up, this episode about the progression from Guidelines (“SHOULD”), Standards (“SHALL” as consensus of essentials), to Best Practices (“SHALL BE PERMITTED” to EXCEED essentials) was fascinating, and applicable to ALL PROFESSIONS, not solely audiology or even solely medical. Thank you!
Possibly my favorite comment of the entire year, Brian.
As a audiology patient, I appreciate that this interview was basically understandable at a consumer level. Lots of good insights. Very helpful. Thank you!
Fantastic interview! Thanks! Can you please cite the John’s Hopkins Study you referred to about the reduction of cognitive decline by 48% when hearing loss is treated? That’s a specific and important data point we’d like to be able to share with our patients.
Great interview, informative and interesting. I hope you do more interviews with influential audiologists.
Great interview. It’s nice to know that the patient’s input is taken into consideration for optimal treatment outcome. Some days, it’s easy to focus on the 3% of the time when the fitting seems totally wrong and not the 97% of the time when things sound great. I am sure that I tend to focus in on the difficult times and wonder what is wrong with me. It takes time to get used to the ways things sound and determine your satisfaction with hearing aid performance. Good to know that there are reliable standards available in treatment.
Excellent discussion. Thank you. Regarding fitting formulas you brought up in the video. Just out of curiosity what percentage of your clients prefer DSL vs NAL-NAL2.
Very good one
Good suggestion to change from somewhat vague description (somewhat QUALITATIVE) of “Real Ear Measurements” to far more meaningful “Verification to Validated Prescriptive Method” (QUANTITATIVE) description.
