Abstract: A committee of the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine produced the report "Measuring Meaningful Outcomes in Adult Hearing Health Interventions". This session will describe the process of identifying the core outcomes and associated measures. The need for meaningful outcome measures in the clinic and research lab will be explored. A pathway to incorporate these measures into busy clinical practices will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, the participant will be able to describe the process used to identify meaningful outcomes related to hearing health interventions.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to describe the process used to identify measurements associated with core outcomes for hearing health interventions.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to discuss efficient, accurate ways to implement the recommended measures from the NASEM report in a busy clinical setting.
