Pivot Hearing has developed The Chairside Counseling Tool designed to be used in your practice fitting room while you are counseling a patient after the hearing test has been completed. The tool is proven to be helpful in communicating with patients who are just finding out they have a diagnosed hearing loss. The goal of the Chairside Counseling Tool is to familiarize patients with the latest research that indicates hearing loss is a holistic health care issue that must be addressed to maintain complete health, not just hearing improvement. The motivation behind the tool is to provide the patient with a more complete understanding that may break down the barriers to address their hearing loss now and agree to experience hearing aids that same day.
