“Only 25% of consumers can accurately assess the degree of hearing loss, and they don’t know if they have the loss in one or both ears.” said Bob Barber, and Arizona hearing aid dispenser with Miracle Ear.

“Only 25% of consumers can accurately assess the degree of hearing loss, and they don’t know if they have the loss in one or both ears.” said Bob Barber, and Arizona hearing aid dispenser with Miracle Ear.Audiologists also uncover serious nerve
problems, infections and tumors during exams, according to Tucson based audiologist Judy Huch. “People might say: “OK, you found 3 tumors in 20 years” she said. “But for me, missing one brain tumor is one too many.”
©2017 MFMER | slide-14
Humes et al, 2017• Hearing aids make a
difference
• Hearing aids similar to OTC hearing aids have almost as good of outcomes as those fit by audiologists using best practices
• Audiologists have the best Outcomes

Accessibility and Affordability: Part 2• ADA: Audiology Patient Choice Act
• Audiologists as Medicare Physicians
• Medicare pays for hearing tests without physician referral

and signed periodically by a physician.

Medical Home Concept
• Proscriptive Hearing Care?• Physician determines when and which type of hearing care
to pursue• Why? Answer: recognition of systemic disease with
auditory symptoms (?)
• Collaborative Care?• Consumer / Patient driven direct access to audiology
services – with PCP notification / communication• Also achieves recognition of systemic disease with
auditory symptoms

Conclusion• There was essentially no difference between
Otolaryngologist and Audiologist decisions concerning who was or was not at risk for ear disease.
• Audiologists over- referred slightly• Neurotologists and Audiologists had the same sensitivity for
vestibular schwannoma

Consumer Ear Disease Risk Assessment (CEDRA)
• Questionnaire designed for hearing aid seeking consumers
• Asks questions about health status and ear disease symptoms
• Provides a prediction of ear disease risk in real time
©2017 MFMER | slide-36
Example QuestionsOverall Health Overall, how would you rate your health?
Dizziness How often do you have dizziness?
Balance How would you rate your balance?
TinnitusDo you have tinnitus, such as ringing, roaring, or cricket‐like sounds in your ears?
Hearing Loss:
Onset Did the hearing loss in either of your ears develop suddenly?
Have you ever had a sudden permanent change in your hearing? Fluctuation Does your hearing change from day to day?Asymmetry Do you hear better in one ear than the other?
When talking on a telephone, do you understand what people say better in one ear than the other?
©2017 MFMER | slide-37
Interim CEDRA Results• Initial risk probability algorithm
• Developed from a cohort of 192 cases of disease and age related hearing loss
• Cross validated in a cohort of 54 similar cases
• Performance validation
• 90% of ear disease cases identified (10% Miss Rate)
• 71% of age related hearing loss cases accurately identified

• Self Assessment of Ear Disease Risk is feasible but imperfect
• There is a cost in missed ear disease when consumers decide when they have ear disease.
• Is the cost worth governmental interference in the free market?

PEDRA• Audiology can play an important role in otologic disease detection with PEDRA
• Position – we will see more hearing impaired patients
• Cost – we are less expensive
• Reason for Medicare Payment of option #2?
• Critical point: We must integrate into healthcare system
• Coordinate with PCP / Medical Home**
• Find disease and refer aggressively
• Team approach – no profession can do it alone
Option #2 Option #3
** Proscriptive (option #3) versus collaborative (option #2) care
