Listen Later

After last week's discussion on the essential elements of running a successful practice, such as calculating cost/hour and how this can be used in a bundled or unbundled approach to hearing aid dispensing, Dr. Michael Valente returns to discuss how audiology clinics can integrate OTC devices into their clinic offering.  

In Part 2 of his presentation, Dr. Valente covers:  

  • Impact of OTC/PSAP/DTC on Audiology  
  • Impact of Diminished reimbursement for clinical services 
  • Adoption rate of hearing aids  
  • Review of 2 studies on performance of PSAPs for mild to moderate hearing loss 
  • Creating a strategy to integrate OTC devices by offering an entry level hearing aid using an unbundled approach 
  • Importance of counseling on difference between bundled/unbundled approach to allow patients to decide best option for themselves  
  • A discussion on how this actually 'played out' at the Washington University clinic
