Tele-Audiology in a Pandemic period

Health-care providers are scrambling to keep up with the demand for telehealth services as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic sweeps across the nation and world. Many are seeing unexpected benefits in the shift to connected health—and hoping the momentum continues after the emergency is over.

Similarly, audiologists are also looking for ways to reach their patients for regular check-ups, follow-up care, and other unexpected urgencies that need attention. The answer to current social distancing can be addressed by adopting tele-audiology. The concept of tele-audiology is not new. It has been applied by many agencies and practices in developing countries to help the unserved and underserved populations and to overcome the shortage of audiologists.

The scope of this event is to examine the opportunity tele-audiology can provide to clinical challenges associated with social distancing. Audiologists will share how tele-audiology services are laying the groundwork for “the new normal.”

Agenda:

1) Introduction: 11:00 - 11:10

2) Presentation: 11:10 - 11:55

3) Q&A: 11:55 - 12:00

A free hearing assessment is available for those that sign up and the attendees will automatically be entered in a raffle to win a $50 gift card!
