True Colors: Personality Traits and Their Impact on Ethics in Hearing Healthcare
This 90‑minute session is divided into two focused segments.
During the first 45 minutes, participants will engage in a lecture-based exploration of core ethical principles and their practical applications. The session will introduce foundational definitions of ethics, examine how ethical responsibilities intersect with legal requirements, and review the four primary ethical theories alongside the four major categories of ethics. Emphasis will be placed on how violations of key ethical standards may negatively affect the legality and integrity of professional practice.
In the second 45 minutes, attendees will complete the True Colors® Personality Inventory, enabling a guided self-assessment of their predominant personality styles. Participants will then engage in collaborative discussions to gain insight into how their traits are perceived by others. The segment concludes with an analysis of how identified personality tendencies may influence interpersonal communication, patient or client interactions, and dynamics within their organizations.
