title: Say what? Integrating hearing into an ophthalmology practice.
abstract: More people experience hearing loss than any other undiagnosed medical problem. Vision and hearing are our two most important senses. Your patients must see and hear sufficiently to maximize their quality of life; it makes sense to treat them together. This hearing testing program is part of your ophthalmology practice; effectively administering the program and delivering the message is what works. The patients are already in your office, i.e., same age demographic as for hearing loss. They and their family wish their ophthalmologist had a program to address their hearing related needs. They trust their ophthalmic physician. They know that they receive quality care.
