At Harmonic Hearing, we know that hearing loss doesn’t just affect one person—it impacts families and relationships too. That’s why we focus on Family-Centered Care (FCC), where family members play an active role in the hearing care journey.
Research by Hickson et al. (2015) shows that including family leads to better decision-making, improved hearing outcomes, and greater satisfaction. This collaborative approach is at the heart of how we provide care.
What is Family-Centered Care?
Family-Centered Care means involving your loved ones to create a care plan that works best for your needs and lifestyle.
- It’s a team effort: Family members join consultations to share their insights.
- It’s supportive: We provide families with tips and education to help you.
- It’s effective: This approach helps you adjust better to hearing aids and communication strategies.
Why Include Family?
When family is involved:
- Decisions Fit Your Life: Family input helps create care plans that align with your goals.
- Better Results: Patients with family support make the most of their hearing care.
- Stronger Connections: Improved communication enhances relationships.
How We Practice Family-Centered Care
- Bring Family to Appointments: Their input helps us understand your needs better.
- Collaborate Together: We have open conversations to ensure care plans work for everyone.
- Provide Resources: We give families simple tools to help support you at home.
