评估
Assessment is an important first step in providing hearing aids. Through an assessment you will gather information about the person’s hearing and grade of hearing loss.
Information from the assessment will help you and the person to plan:
- 如果他们可能从助听器中受益：
- 适合哪种类型的助听器
- 教什么
- 随访
- 转介到其他服务机构。
If the person already has hearing aids and is returning to the service, check whether the hearing aids are meeting their needs. The assessment will help to make decisions about adjusting, repairing or replacing their hearing aids.
