Audiogram

Use a Audiogram 2011 template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What an Audiogram records

An Audiogram is a hearing-test record that documents a patient’s hearing thresholds and related clinical information. In practice, it may identify the patient, record test dates and frequencies, show right- and left-ear results, identify the audiologist or provider, and include interpretation or acknowledgment fields. With signNow, a clinic can upload the Audiogram, review detected fields, assign patient and provider roles, send it for electronic signatures, and preserve the completed document with an audit trail. Healthcare organizations should apply HIPAA safeguards and their own clinical-record retention policy to every completed Audiogram.

Who uses Audiograms and why

Healthcare providers

Audiologists and hearing clinics use Audiograms to document hearing thresholds, patient identifiers, testing conditions, and clinical interpretation before routing records for acknowledgment or signature.

Patients and representatives

Patients and authorized representatives review Audiograms containing hearing-test results, confirm information, and sign consent or acknowledgment sections when the clinic requires documented approval.

signNow connects Audiogram preparation, field assignment, patient review, signature collection, and auditable record storage in one controlled workflow.

Field detection

Signer routing

Assign each Audiogram field to the patient, audiologist, physician, or authorized representative who must complete it.

Remote signing

Audiogram record retention schedule

Retention depends on whether the Audiogram is a HIPAA-covered record and whether state healthcare rules require a longer period.

01

Six years for HIPAA records

HIPAA requires six-year retention from creation or the last effective date under 45 CFR §164.530(j).
02

No tax period applies

Federal tax-record retention does not govern an Audiogram unless the document also serves a separate tax purpose.
03

No employment period applies

Employment-record retention rules do not govern an Audiogram unless it is incorporated into a separate employment record.
04

State period may be longer

State healthcare-record rules may require longer retention than HIPAA; verify the applicable state requirement.
05

Policy-controlled final retention

Document the clinic policy used for Audiogram deletion and preserve the signed record during the required period.

Best practices for retaining Audiograms

Use a documented retention, access, and review process so completed Audiograms remain accurate, private, and auditable.

Set retention for completed Audiograms

Apply the retention rule to the completed Audiogram and its audit trail, not only the visible PDF. HIPAA-covered records must be retained for six years from creation or the last effective date under 45 CFR §164.530(j). State requirements may extend that period, so document the governing policy.

Export the signed record and history

Export the signed Audiogram and audit trail when the workflow closes, then verify that patient identifiers, signatures, timestamps, and document history remain readable in the retained copy.

Restrict access to patient records

Store Audiograms in an access-controlled healthcare repository with encryption, role-based permissions, and a documented deletion process. Restrict access to staff who need the record for treatment, payment, operations, or an authorized disclosure.

Review clinical fields before sending

Use an approved Audiogram template and review every clinical field before sending. Confirm patient identity, test date, hearing thresholds, provider details, and required acknowledgments before signatures are requested.

Audiogram troubleshooting questions

Resolve field, signer, privacy, plan, and access issues before the Audiogram becomes part of the patient record.

Upload the Audiogram as a PDF, then review signNow’s detected fields manually. Hearing thresholds, ear labels, test dates, and provider identifiers may require repositioning or correction before sending.

Use signNow’s signer roles and field assignments to distinguish the patient, audiologist, physician, and authorized representative. Confirm every required field has one responsible signer before selecting Send.

signNow supports HIPAA-compliant workflows when a business associate agreement is required. Confirm the organization’s account configuration and healthcare privacy procedures before uploading protected health information.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, templates, mobile apps, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR support at $8 per user monthly when billed annually.

Business Premium adds bulk send at $15 per user monthly when billed annually. Use it only when the clinic needs repeated Audiogram delivery across many recipients or records.

If a signer cannot open the Audiogram, verify the email address, resend the invitation, or provide a signing link. For sensitive records, use two-factor authentication and confirm the recipient’s identity first.
