"10 Point Hearing Instrument Maintenance."
"Subjective Analysis:" Patient reports that the hearing aids have been sounding muffled in the past week. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Visual Inspection: Hearing instrument and/or earmold examined for imperfections in casing, earmold, battery contact or individual components such as switches, buttons, speakers, wires, etc." The left hearing aid had a small crack in the casing. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Sound Check: Biological Listening check performed on hearing instrument to ensure clear acoustic signal" Both hearing aids produced a clear acoustic signal during the listening check. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Detailing: Hearing instrument(s) and components including microphones, receivers, switches, buttons, and contacts cleaned with the use of specialized tools to maximize instrument performance."
"Current domes, filters, eargrips, etc removed." The patient had size 10 domes on both hearing aids. No eargrips were observed. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Sterilization: Hearing instrument and/or earmold sanitized to prevent infection and provide optimal performance."
"Redux: Instrument placed in dryer box to provide optimal performance. Amount of moisture removed" 15 Microliters of moisture removed from the left hearing aid. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Preventative maintenance: Replaceable components of instruments and/or earmolds replaced today" - Replaced size 10 domes on both hearing aids and replaced the wax filters. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Fitting Software:"
"Average use" - The software indicates an average use of 8 hours per day. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Battery Health" - Battery health is reported as good. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Firmware" - Firmware was up to date. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Verification: Hearing aids are evaluated in Hearing Aid Test box to assess performance. Speech Map, directional microphone and multicurve testing" - Speech mapping and directional microphone testing were within normal limits. Multicurve testing showed appropriate gain. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Otoscopy - Visual examination of outer ear, ear canal and tympanic membrane structures" - The otoscopy revealed clear ear canals and intact tympanic membranes bilaterally. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Annual audiological testing completed" - Audiological testing completed on 1 November 2024 showed stable hearing thresholds. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
"Recommendations" Recommend the patient return in 6 months for a follow-up appointment. (Only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note; otherwise omit completely.)
