Customer Satisfaction Survey
Here is a copy of the MarkeTrak VII customer satisfaction survey that we use at a National level. We recommend that customer satisfaction surveys be sent out at least 90 days after the hearing aid fitting with a self-addressed and stamped envelop. The survey should not be anonymous. The hearing health practitioner can administer an abbreviated MarkeTrak survey fitting on a single page and sometimes on a postcard. The key questions are overall satisfaction, satisfaction with service, hearing aid benefit, value and performance in quiet and in noisy situations.
National Council on the Aging (NCOA) Survey
This zip file contains the surveys used in the NCOA study in 1998-1999 and published in the January 2000 Hearing Review.
