The concept of telehealth, which involves providing healthcare services through remote technology, has brought about a significant transformation in patient care. Although the idea of telehealth has existed for decades, it has only recently become a fundamental pillar of modern healthcare. In the field of audiology, innovative tools like remote otoscopy, remote audiometry, and remotely adjustable hearing aids have emerged.
The newly published book, Teleaudiology Today, seeks to fill existing knowledge gaps by providing comprehensive insights into remote hearing care.
New Resource for Hearing Professionals
The COVID-19 pandemic played a pivotal role in driving the adoption of teleaudiology, prompting audiologists to seek alternative ways of delivering essential services while reducing in-person interactions. However, this transition highlighted a significant requirement for comprehensive education and support within the field.
Authored by Drs. Vinaya Manchaiah, James W. Hall III, Eldré W. Beukes and De Wet Swanepoel, the new book serves as an extensive resource tailored for audiologists, empowering them with the essential expertise to proficiently establish and offer remote hearing care services to adult patients.
By delving into the book’s recommended strategies and best practices, audiologists can better navigate the evolving healthcare landscape, providing flexible and efficient care in our modern digital age.
