Rules.

After the events of the day, I feel it's necessary to lay out the rules for patients visiting their audiologist.

Rule 1.  Do NOT squirm, jerk, or make any sudden movement when the audiologist has something in your ear.  If it goes through your eardrum, it will hurt.

Rule 2.  Do NOT throw yourself off of the table during vestibular testing.  You WILL be body-slammed back onto the table, where you will be forcefully held until we deem fit to let you loose.

Rule 3.  Do NOT grab your audiologists' hair or anywhere near their 'parts', or you will be held even tighter on the table.

Rule 4.  Do NOT disagree with your audiologist or doctor.  They are right.  They are not lying to you.  They have nothing to gain from lying to you.  

Rule 5.  Do NOT decide to take equipment off of you or out of your ears, unless your audiologist gives you the OK.  It's annoying when you decide to 'help'.

There you have it.  Please review this, type it up, laminate on a wallet sized card if you have to, for your next visit to your friendly neighborhood audiologist.

Rule 6. Bring your audiologist a cookie every time you visit. It makes it alot more pleasant.
