Description:
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic required clinicians to rapidly adapt their practice
for remote service provision, researchers were already exploring effective telehealth
approaches for audiology. The articles in this journal self-study (selected
from a special issue of the American Journal of Audiology, “4th
International Meeting on Internet and Audiology”) examine teleaudiology tools
and methodologies for hearing screenings, home-based auditory assessment for
people who use cochlear implants, assessing hearing aid outcomes using ecological
momentary assessment (EMA), and a tool for evaluating hearing aid performance.
Learning
Outcomes
You will be able
to:
- Describe results of an automated
speech-in-noise test for listeners of different age and native language groups
- Discuss the benefits and
limitations of the BASE home-based auditory assessment
- Discuss the implications for
different applications of ecological momentary assessment (EMA)
- Explain how a sentence-based
experience logging tool captures the auditory and nonauditory factors that
contribute to hearing difficulties for people who use hearing aids

Course Reviews
"Due to the pandemic, teleaudiology has become a staple to every Audiologist. I found these studies to be very informative regarding new options to share with patients as well as further insight into current or past tools. With the advances in technology, we have ways to evaluate how a person hears with their hearing aids or cochlear implants outside the office in real world examples. The more information a provider can gather from the patient, whether subjective or objective, the better outcomes we can provide."
