Evidence that eAudiology removes barriers to access and affords more choice
This scoping review of numerous, relatively recent studies reveal that hearing care via tele-health has emerged as a positive service delivery model by removing barriers for access to care and affording more choice to patients and providers.4
A mixed approach (of both remote and in-person appointments) can be successful
Are you wanting to incorporate more eAudiology services into your practice? Read more on how a mixed approach of both in-person and telehealth follow-up appointments can be a part of a successful patient aural rehabilitation journey.5
Smartphone apps can benefit your patients in their hearing rehabilitative care
This study of Timmer and colleagues provide convincing evidence on remote hearing rehabilitative care supported by smartphone apps. It showed that apps can provide patient benefit and may be used to augment patient care beyond
eHealth intervention for pediatric follow-up hearing aid appointments can positively impact parental knowledge and hearing aid management
In this pilot study, parents of children using hearing aids found eHealth support meaningful and useable. Pediatric audiologists may choose to enhance their typical information delivery to parents with a similar eHealth model.7
An mHealth tool that can help you personalize hearing aid fittings and meet real-world needs
This pediatric-focused article describes how including in-situ measurements such as EMA (Ecological Momentary Assessment) can help you understand a listener’s unique experiences outside of the clinic. With this tool, you can potentially personalize hearing aid fittings to meet real-world needs.8
