Abstract

The Audiology Practice Standards Organization (APSO) which was formed in 2017 set out to compile basic services that audiologists within the field should adhere to in their practice. The second standard of the APSO is the Hearing Aid Fitting Standard for Adult and Geriatric Patients. Among the services outlined for an adult hearing aid fitting, orientation is discussed. A hearing aid fitting orientation needs to be device- and patient-centered while also covering various aspects of hearing aid orientation that supports patient's success during the process. This article discusses APSO Standard 12 regarding hearing aid orientation and details how this standard can be implemented in the clinic.
