Sudden hearing loss evaluation, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a sudden hearing loss evaluation in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.
- Intake before the visit. Patients answer online before they arrive, or at a kiosk when they check in.
- Answers ready for the clinician. Clinicians see what the patient said before the visit starts.
- Less workload at the front desk. Staff spend less time handing out forms and entering answers by hand.
- Key details at a glance. The care team sees what matters up front and decides who needs attention first.
The form becomes a natural conversation: patients answer by talking, in their own words. AI Doctor is an information and patient-assistance interface. It collects answers for the care team to review. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or give treatment advice.

Sudden hearing loss evaluation: FAQ
What does a sudden hearing loss evaluation ask?
The sample questions on this page are based on three hearing history forms. They come from Main Line Health, Memorial Health System, and the UNCG Speech and Hearing Center. The dizziness questions follow the Kaiser Permanente ENT dizziness questionnaire. This page groups them into six areas: onset, hearing change, ear symptoms, dizziness, ear history, and medical history.
Is there a separate sudden hearing loss form?
Not among the forms behind this page. They ask about sudden hearing change inside a general hearing history. The Main Line Health form asks about sudden hearing loss in the last 90 days, ear by ear.
Who answers the sudden hearing loss evaluation questions?
The patient, before the ENT or hearing visit. The practice sets when and how the questions are asked.
Do the source forms ask about dizziness?
Yes. The Main Line Health form asks about vertigo or dizziness and ear pressure. The Kaiser Permanente questionnaire asks whether hearing drops during dizzy spells.
What if the change started very recently?
AI Doctor notes when the change started, as the patient describes it. It does not judge urgency; the practice's team reviews the answers and decides on next steps.
What happens after the patient answers?
The practice's team reads the answers. AI Doctor only collects them and does not suggest tests or treatment.
Does AI Doctor give medical advice?
No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.
Can patient answers stay on our own servers?
Yes. RAVATAR offers on-prem deployment: the platform can run inside your own perimeter, so patient answers stay there. RAVATAR complies with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
