My Hearing Explained
The audiogram is a valuable tool for hearing care professionals, but research shows that it can be difficult for clients and their communication partners to understand. My Hearing Explained is both a conversation guide for relaying hearing test results in person-centered terms, and a self-report tool for the client. It can be used throughout the appointment – during the case history, the explanation phase, and the management and planning phase.
