Abstract:
The lecture gives a brief overview on the essential aspects that concern the treatment of the hearing impairment through hearing aids. After a brief introduction on the anatomic and physiological structure of the ear, the most common types of hearing aids are examined and classified in relationship with the degree of hearing impairment of the patient. The hearing aid professional’s fitting protocol, in all of its phases, is then analyzed : assessment questionnaires, choice, fitting and control of the device. The lecture ends with a brief digression on the role and the responsibility of the hearing aid professional with respect to his/her competences in relationship with physicians, with reference to the principal professional laws regulating the profession.
