Hearing loss and patient centered care
Interesting idea

I realized how effective good communication in healthcare has direct effects on patient outcomes, This notes not only delivering healthy information but also includes empathy, patients, and active listening can help with treatment plans and including shared decision making. chap 26
An accessible communication it is not just one route of communication but instead it can be many things, due to this it reminded me how in the rural community I live within usually only have communication styles geared for normal hearing patients and due to these patients with hearing loss can be overlooked. I think that the healthcare system needs to note this disparity and try reducing it as much as possible.
