The FDA has released the OTC Final rule. Hearing aid delivery models will change even more than they already have. How will audiologists remain relevant as big box retail becomes an even larger competitor and the internet will afford consumers an endless array of pricing and product. The audiology community must consider an update to the way we deliver patient care. This session will discuss the benefits of evidence-based practice, practicing across the full scope of our license as well as discuss the benefits of itemizing services to help audiologists differentiate themselves in the ever changing hearing aid delivery landscape.
- Demonstrate models of hearing aid service delivery that will increase revenue streams while maintaining patient loyalty
- Discuss ways to adapt service delivery models using evidence based methods to establish the value of the audiologist while improving patient care and outcomes
- Describe the advantages to the patient and audiology profession of itemizing services to differentiate between product fees and professional service fees
