Avid Practice Growth Insights™ readers know we are fond of how motivational quotes can inspire change for the better. At this stage of our narrative’s journey, we discovered one truly apropos: | | |
“At the moment of truth, there are either reasons or results.”
–Chuck Yeager
| | |
Why so fitting? An interesting fact…
Did you know (I did not) that, on October 14, 1947, Chuck Yeager was the first human to officially break the sound barrier by flying the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1.05, at an altitude of 45,000 ft (13,700 m)? To learn more, click here.
| | While Chuck Yeager bravely broke the sound barrier, individuals with hearing loss often face barriers in accessing information needed for their hearing acuities to take flight. What % of your local population understands that Ear to Brain is a Vital Domain and Better Hearing is Better Healthcare are reasons they should not wait years to take care of their ears? In test-piloting their own sound journeys, perhaps encouraged by a listening companion, bravery is often required for them to get in the seat. | | |
Their decision to seek expert hearing evaluation is a moment of truth about:
- Audiologic assessment.
- Prescribed treatment plan.
- Better Hearing is Better Healthcare intentions.
- Listening companions’ support.
Albeit not split-second decisions (with another form of transportation analogy), they are at a Fork in the Road, with potentially life-changing choices.
| | |
💬 Back to Yeager’s quote… When patients are in the seat, it is their moment of truth to gain knowledge about medical reasons to get results by rediscovering Joys of Hearing. Trusting you as their professional co-pilot implies reputable coordinates to map out healthy missions.
With Medical Model intention, Volume 73 featured this thought-provoking and illustrative continuum. Practice patterns reflect purposeful choices. True that.
| | “To complement The Golden Rule, have you heard of High-Integrity Rulers? While standard rulers measure inches, ‘High-Integrity Rulers’ assess the fundamental intent of persuasive methods.” | | |
“Professionally speaking, would you rather be perceived as $alesy or Educational? From our vantage point, subject matter experts who decisively Amplify Their Impact are principally guided by knowledge-driven aims. From stellar reputations and best practices to research-based information and personalized plans of care, well-respected impacts rule.”
After progressing through many steps on their potentially transformative checklist, from:
- Decision to visit your clinic
- Reception area greetings
- Sound booth testing
Your patients are now, at point of consult, in the seat, and from a Medical Model perspective, well-positioned to view reasons why Did You Know? discussions should be informative catalysts to get results. With healthy goals in mind, this Talk Triad refresher is in sight.
| | |
You and your customer, face to face, with a conversational trigger in sight. At a glance, educational curation is shown and in your own words, caring consultation naturally results. For a moment, mentally compare to blank walls which lack similar impact. Once you 👀 this contrast, it is difficult to un 👀 it.

| | From way back in our archives, 310 weeks ago, Volume 26 asserted: | | |
“While Better Hearing is Better Healthcare journeys begin in many ways, they ultimately lead those in need to clinical encounters. Within your location, from patients’ perspectives, thoughtful sequences of verbal and visual interactions shape perceptions. With awareness, education and counseling goals emphasized, what is in sight will be in mind, especially with team training on natural prompts for caring conversations. From reception to waiting room, testing, consult, and checkout, sensibly mapping out 1000s of clinical journeys is ideal for all involved.
“As we aim to provide the wellness information patients need and the personal touch they deserve, practice-branded designs enhance education, proactively address frequently asked questions, save time, and promote community visibility. With comorbidity awareness crucial, our research-based Did You Know? collection reveals eye-catching content which positions your team as subject matter experts on how hearing loss relates to various medical conditions and why these factors should influence amplification decisions.”
