Introducing the solution approach

• The solution approach in hearing health care is a holistic approach • Based on a hearing and listening needs assessment, which includes

– the assessment of the hearing and listening situations, and – a full audiological assessment, where a complete solution is recommended to the patient that aims to meet all listening and communication needs

• A single product approach will in most cases not meet all listening and communication needs
