Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Cochlear implants (CIs) are crucial for severe hearing loss.
  • Veterans Health Administration (VHA) faces challenges in providing consistent CI services, particularly for rural Veterans.
  • Expanding CI access and services is a VHA priority.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe care models for severely hard-of-hearing Veterans.
  • To provide replicable solutions for CI service delivery within the VHA.
  • To address challenges in accessing CI care for remote Veterans.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing telehealth options like clinical video telehealth (CVT) and VA video connect (VVC) for CI programming.
  • Implementing remote aural rehabilitation programs for CI recipients.
  • Describing an innovative model for remote audiology service delivery.

Main Results:

  • Telehealth significantly improves access to CI care.
  • Remote programming reduces wait times, travel burdens, and costs.
  • Remote aural rehabilitation can enhance patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Remote teleaudiology CI services offer a patient-centered, cost-effective solution for the VHA.
  • Standardizing telehealth for CI programming and rehabilitation is essential.
  • These strategies ensure equitable CI care access for all Veterans, improving outcomes and reducing barriers.
