Pivot Hearing’s trademarked Hearing Aid Test Drive™️ is a protocol designed to help you grow your practice by delivering the best experience to modern patients, all while streamlining operations, improving the health of your business, and driving new patients to your practice.

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.
