What is NOT included in a hearing aid orientation session?

In a hearing aid orientation session, the focus is primarily on the practical and functional aspects of using the hearing aid itself. This includes practicing how to properly remove and insert the device, reviewing what the user can expect from the hearing aid along with its limitations, and providing essential information on how to clean the hearing aid and maintain its battery life for optimal performance.

The introduction to audiological assessments, while beneficial, typically occurs during the initial stages of hearing diagnosis and does not belong to the orientation session where the user learns to manage and utilize their hearing aid. This orientation is specifically tailored to empower users with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively use their new device, making it distinct from the assessments that inform the need for amplification in the first place.
