Hearing is the primary mechanism through which most of us receive ideas from other people. When that ability is altered, it affects how we interpret and react to information. In a physician's office, the transfer of thought is critical to ensuring that patients understand their healthcare information and are compliant with things like medication. In this article, we discuss ways to enhance that communication.
