Hearing aids are devices that can help patients that are hard-of-hearing. They are placed in or on the ear, and function by amplifying sounds in the environment so that the patient can hear more clearly. There are several types of hearing aid such as behind the ear (BTE), in the ear (ITE), in the canal (ITC), completely in the canal (CIC), receiver in canal (RIC), receiver in the ear (RITE), and open-fit.

What can an international patient expect from Hearing Aids doctors?

The Hearing Aids doctor typically first sees the results of the diagnostic tests to assess the medical condition and overall health of the patient. Based on the initial assessment, the doctor would prepare a treatment plan tailored according to the individualized needs of each patient. The doctor will also discuss the treatment plan for Hearing Aids, alternative options, the pros and cons associated with each option and the possible risks as well as complications to educate and help the patient make the decision. They provide a comprehensive evaluation report and discuss the treatment in-depth with the patient during their consultation. For internation patients, they offer teleconsultation services to educate them about their condition and treatment options. These consultations help the patients and their families understand the treatment better and provide them a chance to ask questions or clear their doubts. The doctors are involved in the entire treatment process, from the pre-treatment phase to post-treatment care.

Once the patient is ready for the treatment, the Hearing Aids surgeon addresses his team members and shares the details of the case with them. The team members prepare for Hearing Aids and set up a convenient date for the procedure with the patient’s approval. The team will provide the patient a few instructions and guidelines for the pre-treatment phase. Also, the Hearing Aids hospital initiates the formalities and ensures the hospital stay is comfortable. The patient will have to submit documents for any insurance claim approval. They must also apply for a medical visa and arrange their travel and accommodation based on the scheduled date for the procedure.
