Inspired by Ida

A benchmark of quality for person-centered care

When you sign up for the Learning Hall, you'll find our flagship program - Inspired by Ida - waiting for you in My Courses. Inspired by Ida is a program that enables hearing care professionals to enhance their person-centered skills and gives them practical tips to apply them in daily practice.

The Inspired by Ida badge helps people with hearing loss to identify clinics that offer high-quality hearing care focused on their individual needs.

To become Inspired, clinicians complete the two popular training courses ‘Getting Started with Person-Centered Care’ and ‘Client Engagement and Ida Motivation Tools’ and sign a code of ethics underscoring their commitment to person-centered hearing care.

What are the benefits?

Hearing care professionals can:

  • learn practical PCC skills quickly and easily
  • earn CEUs
  • share the Inspired by Ida badge on their social media, on their resumés, and in their email signatures to show their dedication to PCC

 

People with hearing loss can find clinics:

  • whose staff have taken courses in person-centered methods
  • that have signed a code of ethics confirming their commitment to person-centered care
