GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA — Neurotone AI has announced the addition of the Revised Hearing Handicap Inventory (RHHI) to Lace Pro, providing hearing care professionals with a new way to monitor patient-reported outcomes directly through the Lace Pro patient app.
The RHHI is one of the outcome measures recommended in the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report, Measuring Meaningful Outcomes for Adult Hearing Health Interventions. The 18-question survey is designed to assess hearing-related psychosocial health, helping providers better understand how hearing difficulties affect patients in everyday life.
“Integrating the Revised Hearing Handicap Inventory into Lace Pro is an important step forward in how we measure auditory training outcomes. By aligning Lace Pro with the NASEM committee’s recommendations, we are helping clinicians move beyond basic metrics and better understand the functional and psychosocial realities of their patients’ hearing health.”
–Brian Taylor, VP of Clinical Research & Professional Relations at Neurotone AI
Supporting Patient-Centered Outcome Measurement
Within Lace Pro, the RHHI is presented after app onboarding and uses a simple “yes,” “no,” or “sometimes” response format, making it easy for patients to complete. Responses are shared with providers, giving practices greater visibility into how patients are doing beyond training performance.
The addition of RHHI check-ins reflects Neurotone AI’s broader commitment to supporting more comprehensive hearing care. Lace Pro is designed to help patients after their hearing aid fitting through auditory training, ongoing engagement, and provider insight into patient progress.
In addition to the RHHI, Neurotone has introduced new survey management controls within its Pro Portal partner dashboard. Providers can now choose whether surveys appear in the patient app and customize the survey frequency to either 30- or 90-day intervals.
“This update is about making meaningful outcome measurements easier to bring into everyday clinical care,” Taylor said. “When providers can see how hearing difficulties are affecting patients in real life, they can have better conversations, personalize care, and support better long-term outcomes.”
The RHHI check-ins are now available in Lace Pro.
