Prior to the fitting of hearing aids, clinicians and patients must discuss the best treatment options for the physical and audiologic needs of the patients. To be able to confidently make these decisions, the clinician should complete a medical and audiological case history. Additionally, clinicians need accurate results from a comprehensive audiologic evaluation. The evaluation should include the following: pure-tone testing, word recognition testing, speech-in-noise testing, and loudness discomfort level measures. This article will outline the process and procedures for acquiring this information in line with the Audiology Practice Standards Organization (APSO) Guidelines for Adult Hearing Aid Fittings Standards 1 and 4. This article will also discuss how results can affect decision-making during the hearing aid selection and fitting process.
在佩戴助听器之前，临床医生和患者必须讨论针对患者身体和听力需求的最佳治疗方案。为了能够自信地做出这些决定，临床医生应完成一份医疗和听力病例史。此外，临床医生需要全面听力评估的准确结果。评估应包括以下内容：纯音测试、单词识别测试、噪声中的言语测试以及响度不适阈测量。本文将根据听力学实践标准组织（APSO）的成人助听器验配标准1和4概述获取这些信息的过程和程序。本文还将讨论这些结果如何在助听器选择和验配过程中影响决策。
