Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Telemedicine
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Real-time and store-and-forward telemedicine applications have been explored in audiology.
  • These include pure tone audiometry, otoacoustic emissions, auditory brainstem response, hearing aid fitting, and video-otoscopy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential of real-time telemedicine in audiology, specifically using application sharing for remote audiometric testing.
  • To assess the feasibility of remote audiology services.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot trial was conducted using real-time telemedicine.
  • Application sharing technology was employed to deliver pure tone and speech audiometry measures remotely.

Main Results:
