Instructions

We look forward to working with you. If you are unable to come to our office for the evaluation, we can work with the candidate at a distance. Long-distance care is available through our In-Home Program which is individualized based upon a review of all of the following: (1) the applicant’s evaluation form; (2) telephone evaluation(s); and (3) a local audiologist’s report.

• When you are ready to proceed with the evaluation, please fill in the following form.
• To schedule the evaluation, call 828-683-6900 or email: info@aithelps.com. You can also go to our web site and submit a form request for an appointment. Do not hesitate to contact us with your questions.
• When the evaluation is scheduled we will be glad to assess whether scholarship and/or payment plans are available to you. If you want us to do the additional financial assessment, please complete and submit the form entitled Scholarship, Payment Plans.
• If the evaluation will be conducted at a distance, please schedule an appointment with a local audiologist for a hearing evaluation. We will send you a letter with instructions for the audiologist. Please instruct the audiologist to fax the results to us as soon as possible. If you have a child with special needs, we recommend that you find an audiologist who is trained to work with special needs children.

If AIT is appropriate, we can usually accommodate the In-Home Program fairly quickly. You will need a CD player; we supply the rest of the equipment. The AIT is 20 sessions, 1/2 hour each. The recommended program sequence is twice per day for 10 days. Re-assessments are included.

Do not hesitate to call us for further information or assistance: 828-683-6900.
