Phonak’s cutting edge eAudiology tools offer your clients remote hearing care services that modernise the patient care experience.
eAudiology can help improve the way you offer treatment for patients by expanding your service portfolio.
eAudiology doesn’t replace your skills as a practitioner, but instead adds to your clinic’s diagnostic audiology offerings and creates more time, flexibility, and availability for patients.
Using apps and software, you can perform remote fittings, conduct hearing tests, and make device adjustments all in real time from your computer.
Phonak has the tools to help you offer Remote Support to your clients. Our Quick Start Package bundles essential resources to walk you through the initial steps:
These useful fitting and hearing screening tools will help you make the most of eAudiology in your practice.

With Phonak Target’s innovative software, you can ensure that clients not only get a more satisfying hearing aid fitting experience, but also benefit from the technology’s impact on their hearing and overall well-being.
eAudiology gives your patients access to care even if they live far from clinic. This offers your patients added convenience that can accommodate their busy schedules.
Providing remote care can be as effective as in-person appointments, and it offers a way to appeal to a larger group of potential patients, while increasing satisfaction of your current patients.
eAudiology not only gives your patients flexibility, but it also gives you added flexibility in scheduling as well. And, as a growing field and new technology, it shows your patients that you too are growing professionally, as you adapt to how you can provide more efficient services to them.

Blended approach
eAudiology is a great option for certain patients who may prefer virtual care for a variety of reasons.
These patients are early adopters of technology and would likely be enthusiastic users of Remote Support, especially if these clients have busy schedules and would enjoy follow-up appointments and adjustments virtually.
Patients who have a tough commute to your office or who need ad-hoc appointments can easily schedule appointments with your office regardless of their other obligations.
To expand coverage to meet community needs, you can provide care remotely to patients in their home, or to patients visiting your remote clinical location with clinic support staff assisting. Support staff can care for patient needs and set up technology when a full-time Audiologist can't be in the office in-person.
