Description

In response to the many complaints by the hearing-impaired about poorly fitted hearing aid obtained at hearing-aid shops and to dispense the most appropriate hearing aids, we opened a consultation clinic at the Akita Medical Center in 1986.<br> In 1999, we introduced a microbus to make the rounds of ear, nose, and throat ENT, clinics in the prefecture.<br> From 1986 to 2008, we saw 12,156 subjects and dispensed new hearing aids to about 70%. Hearing-aid fitting and dispensing by ENT doctors, auditory paramedical staff, and hearing-aid shops thus proved very useful to the hearing-impaired requiring hearing-aid assistance.<br>
