Evidence based practice has become an important aspect in many healthcare provisions toimprove patient outcomes. Investigating the gaps between knowing and doing in audiologypractice will provide future directions for successful service delivery. The purpose of thisstudy was to explore “know-do” gaps related to professional awareness and attitude inhearing aid fitting management (HAFM) by analyzing data of a questionnaire. It consisted of22 questions focusing on 11 HAFM components. Each component had two sub-questionsinvolving levels of the importance and practice for HAFM. Respondents answered eachquestion based on subjective judgments for their own hearing aid fitting services with aVisual Analogue Scale. A total of 51 responses from hearing care professionals were collectedand the scores for knowing and doing were compared. The results showed overallhigh scores in doing and knowing responses; however, there were significant “know-do”gaps demonstrating higher knowing scores than doing scores across all HAFM components. The largest “know-do” gaps were observed in three components mostly implementedduring follow-up sessions which indicate the need to improve their corresponding servicesand practical guidelines emphasizing the follow-up services.
