hearing aid evaluation
Increasingly referred to as a Communication Needs Assessment, a CNA or F & CNA (Functional & Communication Needs Assessment). It is an in-depth assessment for whether or not a hearing aid or hearing aids is indicated, including concerns specific to an individual’s needs. It helps identify an individual's unique requirements and preferences related to hearing loss and helps facilitate the selection of the most suitable hearing aid solution.
The F&CNA encompasses additional questionnaires, speech in noise testing, fall risk assessment, dexterity and cognitive assessment which all help develop a tailored care plan for each individual.
