Teleaudiology

Convenient, Expert Hearing Care Through Teleaudiology

Attending an in-office hearing care appointment can be challenging due to scheduling issues, travel problems or the difficulty of finding someone to care for dependents. Technological upgrades have made teleaudiology a viable solution for ongoing hearing care.

What Is Teleaudiology?

Teleaudiology utilizes teleconferencing technology to enable patients to connect with their audiologists. Using the video camera on your Smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop and an internet connection, you can connect to your hearing care provider for a face-to-face consultation without having to come in for an office visit.

Though teleaudiology became a preferred means of no-contact consultations during the pandemic, it continues to provide a viable alternative for our patients who need a hearing care consultation but cannot attend an in-office appointment due to any number of unavoidable challenges.

Five Easy Steps of a Teleaudiology Appointment

Scheduling a teleaudiology appointment is as easy as setting up an in-office appointment.

After providing the requested information and submitting the form, an AVI New England patient care specialist will contact you to help set a date and time for your appointment.

Within this email is your appointment confirmation along with critical information regarding the setup and testing of the camera and microphone on your device, and a link you will use to connect to your audiologist for your appointment.

No Contact, Expert Hearing Care Through Tele Audiology

Attending an in-office hearing care appointment is not always simple due to scheduling issues, travel problems, or the challenge of finding someone to care for dependents.

In addition, self-isolation, social distancing protocols, and various health concerns related to COVID-19 have made tele-audiology a viable, no-contact solution for ongoing hearing care.
