This document specifies the routine process of hearing aid fitting management from client registration to follow-up services, including all stages of implementing, organizing, and controlling hearing aid fittings. It also stipulates important prerequisites for ensuring the provision of appropriate services, such as the education level of personnel, venues, and facility systems. The focus of this document is on providing services to the majority of adult clients with hearing impairments. Children, individuals with other disabilities, or certain groups with hearing loss who use implantable hearing devices may require services beyond the scope of this document. This document generally applies to air conduction hearing aids, and in most cases, it also applies to bone conduction devices.
