Clinicians who lack a structured approach to addressing the social and emotional impacts of hearing loss may find the free AIMER video series a practical starting framework worth reviewing.
Addressing the psychosocial burden of hearing loss remains an under-resourced area in routine audiology practice, and freely available structured frameworks like AIMER could help close that gap.
- 01AIMER stands for Ask, Inform, Manage, Encourage, and Refer — a five-step framework for psychosocial support.
- 02The resource is created by audiologist Dr. Bec Bennett and is freely available on YouTube.
- 03The series targets hearing care professionals, not patients directly.
- 04No cost or subscription is required to access the videos.
- 05Content focuses on social and emotional wellbeing, an area often secondary to device fitting in clinical workflows.
The AIMER resources are designed to help hearing care professionals support the social and emotional wellbeing of adults with hearing loss.
