Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane

Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Medical Engineering
  • Telehealth

Background:

  • Probe microphone measurements are crucial for hearing aid fitting.
  • Current methods often require in-person visits, limiting accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of remote probe microphone measurements for hearing aids.
  • To assess the accuracy of remote measurements compared to traditional face-to-face methods.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted face-to-face and remote probe microphone measurements on 60 hearing aid users (105 ears).
  • Utilized videoconferencing and application sharing for remote audiologist control.
  • Measured real ear unaided response (REUR), aided response (REAR), and insertion gain (REIG) at seven frequencies.

Main Results:

  • Significant correlations were found between face-to-face and remote measurements for REUR, REAR, and REIG.
  • Differences between remote and in-person measurements were within the accepted variability of the technique.
  • Remote measurements demonstrated feasibility and reliability.

Conclusions:

  • Remote probe microphone measurements are a viable option for hearing aid verification.
  • This technology can potentially enhance the quality of public hearing aid services.
  • It may also improve professional training and accessibility in audiology, particularly in regions like Brazil.
