DESCRIPTION:
Simulators are effective tools to foster empathy with patient experiences. Evidence-based insights into the effects of background noise, distance, and amplification on speech understanding were supplemented by demonstrations with a web-based Hearing Simulator. Clinicians were encouraged to bring their innovative ideas into practice and were able to suggest improvements for the Hearing Simulator.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
Empathize with patients who have diagnosed and undiagnosed hearing loss, as well as with their daily communication partners, identifying ways that the lived experience of hearing loss is commonly misunderstood.
Validate the limitations of hearing aids while describing the benefits of appropriately fit amplification for speech understanding.
Conceptualize innovative ideas that could improve clinical practice and/or patient outcomes in healthcare settings.
