What eAudiology can do for you

eAudiology can help improve the way you offer treatment for patients by expanding your service portfolio.

Expand your offerings

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.

Flexibility 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.

Why should I offer eAudiology?

eAudiology is a growing field that provides convenience for clients, solutions for unique hearing situations, and helps practitioners grow in their profession.

For your patients

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.

  • Give clients who live far away more access to care
  • Conveniently accommodate their busy schedules
  • Make hearing aid adjustments in real time

For your practice

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.

  • Provide remote appointments that can be as effective as in-person appointments2
  • Expand patient reach to those outside of your community
  • Can be shorter1 and more efficient

For yourself

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.

  • Enjoy more flexibility in your schedule
  • Experience professional growth through a new way of providing care

Hear from your peers

Hear from other Hearing Care Providers who have found success implementing eAudiology into their practice.

eAudiology can appeal to many

eAudiology is a great option for certain patients who may prefer virtual care for a variety of reasons.

Digitally savvy patients

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.

Complicated logistics

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.

Expanded coverage

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.

Some additional candidates for Remote Audiology Support:

  • Patients with frequent hospitalizations who may need hearing aid support in new environments
  • Frequent travelers
  • Clients who have family members who would like to and can facilitate a Remote Support appointment
  • Those who prefer in-person but would like Remote Support seasonally
  • Teens who may be ready to take more ownership of their hearing aid appointment
  • Digital natives who desire the option for a Remote Support visit
