Hosted by Blaise Delfino, M.S., this conversation features Michael Walker, DDS and Jamie Myers Hand, AuD to discuss what happens when a dentist becomes a hearing patient. They discuss occupational noise risks in dentistry, solutions, and how to implement strategies borrowed from dentistry to help hearing practices.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Describe the occupational noise risks inherent in dentistry, including evidence from Dr. Jamie Hand’s research.
- After this course, participants will be able to identify small, implementable changes to improve safety, workflow, and long-term practice sustainability, that benefit both providers and patients.
- Implement strategies borrowed from dentistry to increase patient motivation and follow-through and apply other lessons from dental practice acquisition around culture, patient trust, and systemizing care to private practice audiology.
