The Code of Ethics of the
DigiCare Hearing Health Network
In addition to our respective professional association codes of ethics,
in an effort to "Change the way the world delivers hearing healthcare",
we subscribe to the following:
1. Mission #1 is consumer education. We believe that true auditory
rehabilitation includes a thorough knowledge of one's problem and the
best methodology to resolve it. Therefore, we make available for our
patients a wide variety of educational and instructive materials and
resources, including that which is unavailable through everyday media.
2. We offer the finest and most advanced technology products and
applications to best meet our patient's needs within their personal
resources. We believe that all offerings of technology should meet
standards of cost-benefit to the patient's best advantage.
3. We offer and provide access to assistive devices and training in
coping strategies to supplement where amplification leaves off, and to
enlist community resources in meeting the unmet needs of our patients.
4. We strive to connect our patients with self-help orginizations,
publications, and resources wherever they may help them develop improved
skills in overcoming the challenges of their particular impairment. We
also support self-help efforts in our community and elsewhere wherever
possible.
5. We strive to educate our patients about their rights under the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), where it applies to their
particular needs. So that they may enjoy recreational, educational and
occupational opportunities on or near par with that enjoyed by normal
hearing individuals. We also strive to advise local community entities
in the implementation of the ADA for the benefit of all hearing impaired
individuals.
6. Most of all, we aim to help our patients enhance their lifestyle,
expand their visions and aspirations, and to enjoy fulfilling
relationships and experiences with the loved ones who comprise their own
personal "support group".
