If you've watched my channel for any length of time, you've probably heard me talk about HearingUp. HearingUp is a network of independently owned hearing care professionals who have been personally vetted to ensure they are committed to following comprehensive Audiologic Best Practices—including Real Ear Measurements, speech testing, validation, verification, and other evidence-based procedures that maximize hearing aid performance. My goal has always been to make it easier for people with hearing loss to find providers who deliver the highest level of care. Unfortunately, I recently discovered a problem that I never anticipated. A viewer believed they had found a HearingUp provider, only to learn they weren't actually receiving the Best Practices they expected. After investigating what happened, I uncovered an issue with the way HearingUp currently helps people search for hearing care providers—and it's something I believe needs to change. In this video, I discuss: What happened and how I discovered the issue Why some clinics claim to follow Best Practices but don't consistently provide them The difference between a HearingUp-vetted provider and a clinic that simply says they follow Best Practices What changes I'm considering making to HearingUp How you can protect yourself and ensure you're receiving the hearing care you deserve Download my FREE Hearing Aid Best Practices Checklist: 👉 https://hearingup.com/best-practices-checklist This checklist will help you understand exactly what your hearing care provider should be doing during your hearing aid treatment—whether you visit a HearingUp provider or not. If you've ever had an experience where you felt your provider didn't deliver the level of care you expected, I'd love to hear about it in the comments. #HearingAids #Audiologist #HearingLoss #RealEarMeasurement #BestPractices #HearingUp
