Last week’s issue asked…
“Must we emphasize the value of in person vs. online? Evidently so.”
With May as Better Hearing and Speech Month, we highlight systematic techniques which increase awareness of personalized care pathways.
Getting back to basics, as subject matter experts seek to effectively explain how hearing relates to human body systems, contemplate the timeless nature of anatomical drawings. It was circa 1510 that, way ahead of his time, DaVinci invented these types of groundbreaking artwork.
500+ years later, humankind remains fascinated with trying to fathom the human body’s inner workings. During your formal training, perhaps many years ago, how routine were studies and memorization of anatomical drawings? From a healthcare literacy perspective, how often are complex visuals like these seen and plainly understood by inquiring patients? |

The fact is, in many aspects of our lives, we want to learn how things work. While typical explanations can be complex, there is beauty in simplifying them. With these goals in sight, inspired by frequent requests, our Art of Hearing designs were created. This previous issue highlighted key concepts. |
|

Our Diagnosis was described as:
“For years, I have heard many well-established hearing care professionals express, ‘it is frustrating most patients do not recognize the various ways we can improve their quality of life.’ Even more telling are ENT-based audiologists telling stories of patients uninformed that hearing devices were available “down the hall” in-practice. Instead, surprisingly, they were instead referred to external resources, not adhering to high standards of care. From clinical excellence and business perspectives, does that make sense?”
|
|
Our Treatment Plan was explained as:
“Once this awareness need was accurately ‘diagnosed,’ we created a scope of practice design intended as a proactive communication ‘treatment.’ From this viewpoint, The Art of Hearing is an educationally inspiring and strategic theme. While this eye-catching reference illustrates ear anatomy, it is ‘The Art’ of how you practice hearing healthcare which brings precious sounds to life.”
|
|
Best Practices were suggested as:
“With omni-channel goals targeted, from canvas artwork in reception areas to practice brochures, handouts or digital versions, prominently displaying The Art of Hearing triggers those in need to get the picture. With professional services bullet points customized to your treatment specifications, this is a clear winner. With differentiation goals key, leading professionals feature areas of subject matter expertise such as real ear measurements, speech in noise testing, tinnitus treatment or aural rehabilitation.”

As you and your colleagues Start with Why every day, you empathize with those for whom Silence is Lonely.
Truth be told, it is how you compassionately practice The Art of Hearing which is music to their ears.
|
|
Scope may be defined as, “the extent of the area or subject matter that something deals with or to which it is relevant.” How evident is your expert scope of practice to patients and physician referral sources? To strengthen your value proposition in a whole person and interdisciplinary care environment, what therapeutic aims will be catalysts for accelerated growth? New bullet points on intentional Art of Hearing designs represent how clinical specialization will Amplify Your Influence with those in need. Although cliché’, the notion “there is not a lot of traffic on the extra mile” is so true. By driving ahead on the road to practice and patient care differentiation, your high performance team will be rewarded.
While celebrating the historical importance of anatomical drawings which DaVinci brought to life centuries ago, this recently published Scientific Report on Nature.com focused on IE-MAP: a novel in-vivo atlas and template of the human inner ear. Having discovered this remarkable research, we thought you would enjoy seeing and learning from:

Brain atlases and templates are core tools in scientific research with increasing importance also in clinical applications. Advances in neuroimaging now allowed us to expand the atlas domain to the vestibular and auditory organ, the inner ear.
