Description:
Boothless
audiometry is emerging as a transformative tool for conducting hearing
assessments in nonclinical audiology settings. This webinar will explore the
technology behind boothless audiometry, its applications in clinical practice,
and its potential to reshape the delivery of hearing care. The speaker will
highlight innovations using automated test procedures, discuss the ability to
leverage the platform as a comprehensive tool for hearing health education, and
address its reliability compared to traditional test methods. Participants will
learn how boothless audiometry is being integrated into occupational health,
the military, and teleaudiology, expanding access to underserved populations.
Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or health care professional, this
webinar will equip you with the knowledge of the potential benefits of
boothless audiometry and help you stay ahead of future trends in hearing care.
