Case study #1: Patient JH is a 73-old male retired CEO, in reportedly
good health, who has never worn hearing aids before. His audiogram
reveals a symmetrical moderate SNHL with a V notch at 3K. WRS
scores are 88% AD, 36% AS, 88% AU with bilateral type A
tympanograms, normal AR in his right ear, and absent AR in his left ear.
While obtaining his case history, he reported having several vestibular
episodes within the past 6 months. JH also reports hearing distorted in
his left ear.
Assuming JH had an above average ear canal diameter, which would
be the most appropriate coupling system?

he tries to adjust his devices, what would be your best course of
action?
