I had to go for a balance testing. Even though the testing wasn't that pleasant and I got sick. The lady that performed it told me everything that was happening before she did it and was very comforting and supportive the whole way thur. I would recommend her for anyone that has to have this test. She was wonderful ❤️

Common Patient Questions

Have more questions about Tele Audiology?

Explore our FAQ section to find answers to common questions about our hearing services. Whether you’re looking to improve your hearing, maintain your hearing aids, or learn more about the solutions we offer, we want to help you make informed decisions about your hearing health. 

Tele-audiology is the remote delivery of audiology services using telecommunications technology. It allows audiologists to provide hearing care, consultations, and treatments to patients at a distance using videoconferencing and other digital tools. This approach enables patients to receive professional hearing care from the comfort of their own homes or other convenient locations.

Tele-audiology sessions typically involve a video call between the patient and the audiologist. The audiologist may use specialized software to conduct hearing tests remotely, adjust hearing aids, or provide counseling. Patients may need to use specific devices or apps as their audiologist directs. Some appointments might involve a combination of remote care and self-administered tests, with results then discussed during the video consultation.

Tele-audiology offers numerous benefits, including increased accessibility to hearing care, especially for those in remote areas or with mobility issues. It saves time and travel costs for patients, reduces exposure risks during health crises, allows for more frequent check-ins and adjustments, and can lead to faster intervention for hearing issues. It also enables continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible or practical.

Tele-audiology can address a wide range of hearing-related issues, including hearing loss assessment, tinnitus management, hearing aid fittings and adjustments, auditory processing disorders, and general hearing health consultations. It's beneficial for follow-up appointments, routine check-ups, and ongoing management of chronic hearing conditions. However, some complex diagnoses or treatments may still require in-person visits.

The main difference is the lack of physical presence. While tele-audiology can perform many of the same services, certain hands-on procedures like ear examinations or hearing tests may be limited. Tele-audiology relies more on patient self-reporting and at-home testing tools. However, technological advancements continually narrow the gap between remote and in-person care quality.

Basic requirements include a device with a camera and microphone (smartphone, tablet, or computer), a stable internet connection, and sometimes specific apps, as the audiologist recommends. For hearing tests, patients might need to use headphones or earbuds. Some tele-audiology services may provide or recommend additional equipment like remote hearing aid programmers or at-home testing devices.

Most people with hearing concerns can benefit from tele-audiology. It's particularly suitable for those who have difficulty traveling, live far from audiology clinics, or prefer the convenience of remote care. However, very young children, individuals with severe cognitive impairments, or those requiring complex diagnostic procedures may still need in-person care. Eligibility can also depend on state regulations and individual clinic policies.

Coverage for tele-audiology varies depending on the insurance provider and policy. Many insurance companies have expanded their coverage for telehealth services, including tele-audiology, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Medicare has also increased coverage for telehealth audiology services. It's best to check with your specific insurance provider to understand your coverage for tele-audiology appointments.

While tele-audiology can accurately assess many hearing issues, its diagnostic capabilities may be limited compared to in-person evaluations. Advanced diagnostic tools and techniques have been developed for remote use, allowing for reasonably accurate hearing tests and assessments. However, in-person visits may still be necessary for a comprehensive diagnosis for complex cases or when physical examination of the ear is crucial.

To prepare for a tele-audiology appointment, ensure a quiet, well-lit space with a stable internet connection. Test your device's camera and microphone beforehand. Have any relevant medical records or information about your hearing history ready. If you use hearing aids, have them available. Follow any pre-appointment instructions from your audiologist, which may include downloading specific apps or preparing for at-home hearing tests. Be ready to describe your symptoms or concerns clearly and ask any questions you may have.
