The Audiology Practice Standards Organization (APSO) has published its second audiology standard. This second standard is focused on adult hearing aid fittings. These standards put forward information about verification that should be completed on hearing aids before, during, and after a fitting. Validation following the verification of the hearing aids to ensure patient satisfaction with the devices is also included in the standards. The goal of this article is to provide clinicians with the guidelines related to hearing aid verification and validation while also providing information about how to put these standards into clinical practice.
