This document is a summary of a webinar on how to design an effective case history questionnaire for audiology patients. The presenter, Dr. Debra Wall, emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive case history in generating more referrals and increasing patient acceptance of amplification. The case history helps create a plan for effective communication and addresses various aspects of the patient's medical history, hearing history, tinnitus, and lifestyle. <br /><br />The webinar covers the importance of obtaining general information such as the patient's name, address, email, birth date, and insurance information. It also discusses the significance of communicating with physicians and implementing a physician referral program to establish a professional relationship and promote referrals. Additionally, the document emphasizes the importance of gathering medical information, including medications, previous hearing tests, and any symptoms such as dizziness or tinnitus. <br /><br />The webinar also provides guidance on understanding the patient's hearing history and the impact of hearing loss on their daily life. It suggests rating their hearing on a scale from 1 to 10 and asking for the spouse's perspective on their hearing abilities. The questionnaire also includes a lifestyle assessment, which considers the patient's exposure to background noise in various settings and their hobbies or activities affected by hearing difficulties. <br /><br />The document concludes with a reminder to listen attentively to the patient's needs and concerns throughout the case history process.
