A Bridge to Better Hearing >> Principle Five: Accountability To Your Hearing Professional

ACCOUNTABILITY TO YOUR HEARING PROFESSIONAL

Your Accountability Is Crucial to Successful Hearing

Accountability is one of the most crucial steps in accomplishing your goal of learning to hear better with a hearing instrument. Accountability simply means that you determine that you will be responsible to discuss your progress with your clinician on a frequent basis. This gives your clinician an opportunity to give you personal advice and coaching. There is great value in this relationship because:

• Your clinician is on your side, like a coach, he/she will not let you fail.
• The clinician is specially trained in counseling for the rehabilitation of the human auditory system.
• The clinician understands both the physiological and psychological challenges which a person with hearing problems encounters.
• The clinician’s professional ethics and personal values ensure that all conversations are held in strict confidence.

Your hearing professional will help you stay focused and committed to your goal.

You must not forget that this takes time. No matter how frustrated you become, don't quit. Stay focused on your goal, and if you ever need any help, give your hearing professional a call immediately.

"The hearing clinician is your accountability partner, a type of personal trainer who won’t judge you... someone who understands and cares enough that they won’t let you give up."
