Telecare for Teens and Tweens
You have probably seen a lot of doctors and specialists about your hearing, but no one understands what life is like with your hearing impairment better than you do.
By using the Ida Telecare tools to get ready for your next appointment, you can make sure that you discuss the things that are most important to you to help you communicate better in daily life, with no time wasted on unrelated topics.
These tools are a way for you to organize your thoughts about your successes and challenges with your hearing impairment. This will help ensure that your needs and concerns are taken care of.
Your answers will also help your audiologist so that they can recommend the best treatment for you, whether that's new technology, communication strategies, or additional support from your family, teachers, and friends.
