ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES
It is the position of the American Academy of Audiology and the staff of AC Hearing, Tinnitus and Balance Associates, LLC, that every person seeking treatment of hearing disorders through the use of amplification devices receive a comprehensive audiological evaluation prior to the purchase.  This evaluation must include any and all necessary procedures to determine the patient’s (a) history of hearing loss, (b) auditory sensitivity (thresholds), (c) speech recognition capabilities, (d) type of hearing loss, (e) need for referral to a physician, (f) need for referral to other professionals or agencies, and (g) candidacy for amplification devices.

The comprehensive audiological evaluation must be performed and interpreted by an Audiologist who is licensed in the state in which the evaluation is completed.

The diagnostic evaluation is not conducted for the purpose of selecting or fitting hearing aids, but rather to assess the functional status of the auditory system and to ensure that amplification or other assistive listening devices are an appropriate treatment strategy.
