Differentiate your practice with holistic care

Hearing well frees up cognitive resources, reduces listening fatigue and enables fluent communication for your clients. This will be beneficial for them as they interact in a variety of social settings.

By incorporating holistic care into your clinic, you can promote the benefits of overall well-being and its ties to hearing health.
  • An impaired ability to comprehend auditory information, maintain conversations and perceive emotions can impact social and emotional well-being1.
  • Hearing aid use has been reported to enable better engagement in group activities and to positively impact relationships2.
  • Reducing listening effort may reduce feelings of fatigue3.

Phonak offers continued ECHHO training for integrating cognitive and social-emotional well-being to support earlier adoption of hearing aids.
