Hearing & Hearing Loss
Most often, hearing loss is a slow process that is difficult and stigmatized for affected patients to self-diagnose. Patients depend on trusted doctors and especially primary care providers (PCPs) to diagnose and treat or refer them to specialists. However, most PCPs and other trusted healthcare professionals do not include hearing evaluation within their practices. Hearing testing has been too complex, too costly for non-hearing healthcare providers to prioritize over other alternatives, and did not differentiate between potential diagnoses.
Hearing Healthcare Pro™
dB Diagnostic Systems is excited to unleash widespread hearing testing with Hearing Healthcare Pro™ Platform Suite. This FDA 510k cleared propriety software application and hardware suite motivates relevant healthcare providers to test their patients for hearing loss. Our patented solution is the most compact, easy-to-use, and provider-friendly solution available today. With deep industry experience and expertise, dB Diagnostics engineered the Hearing Healthcare Pro for healthcare providers not normally trained or equipped to provide hearing healthcare. The current Hearing Healthcare Pro will (1) take advantage of a practice’s existing resources, such as visiting patients who wait in an existing examination room to see the doctor; (2) allow patients to be tested; (3) helps providers diagnose the etiology of hearing loss in 75% of all such patients; (4) includes triage recommendations; and (5) is a covered service by most health plans including Medicare and Medicaid.
dB Diagnostics’ Patient Questionnaire
For those practices that wish to simply qualify their patients prior to any hearing testing, dB Diagnostics has developed a simple one-page patient questionnaire. Validation of this tool is currently under study at Northwell Health in New York.
Our Mission
dB Diagnostics aims to revolutionize and democratize early hearing loss identification processes by engaging non-hearing healthcare providers and improve hearing-related quality of life across all populations.
