The global COVID-19 pandemic has caught us by surprise. People are now forced to stay at home, schools have been shut down, and hospitals have canceled or postponed nonessential surgeries and procedures, including those related to hearing.
Why is this important?
With Teleaudiology services the more traditional face-to-face model of hearing care can be modified to fit the needs of those individuals that are not able to make it to the office. With current hearing aid technology, audiologists can now provide the needed fittings and adjustments of hearing aids with telecare monitoring. If you are at home or in a restaurant setting and experience some sort of difficulty hearing, you can reach out to doctor right away and he will be able to make the needed adjustments based on the presenting concerns. Secure video conferencing can also be used to speak, demonstrate and counsel the patient regarding their device or other hearing related needs.
