Telemedicine is a significant and rapidly growing segment of healthcare. In fact over half of all hospitals in the United States currently offer some form of telemedicine. This talk will explore the opportunities and growing appetite for applying telehealth in Audiology. A vision will be illustrated for the future of audiology care and how technology can help us to engage with new patients, improve the ease with which hearing care is accessed, and empower people to achieve better hearing-related outcomes. Solutions throughout the hearing healthcare continuum from hearing screening to downstream hearing aid support will be described. Finally we will share the outcomes of internal and external research. This data will include several perspectives from patient focus groups, to clinician’s perceptions and feedback, to hearing outcomes and performance data.
