Title: 5.2 Discussion Fitting Observation
Course: 14SP-HIS-150-GWB2-HEAR. INSTRU. FITTING METHODS

As I know many of you are currently in your clinical practicums, what I would like you to do is observe at least one initial hearing aid fitting session and report the following:

1. Identify the audiologist/dispenser's goals for the fitting session
2. identify the type and degree of loss of the patient being fitted,
3. identify the type of hearing aid being fit (style, model and technical and acoustical aspects)
4. Describe the audiologist/dispensers' methodology to make the fitting session successful.  If it was NOT successful, why?
5. Were the dispenser's goals met?
6. What were the patient's main concerns/complaints/objectives and how did the dispenser address them?
7. Would you have done anything differently, and why?

If you are in a clinic that does NOT currently dispense, convert all of the questions above to a test appointment, and what types of tests were done using what types of equipment?
