Below is a real story about how our team in Louisiana helped a Neuro-Otology practice find a way to consolidate their testing needs to one comprehensive platform. 

Much uncertainty exists about the lasting impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our personal and professional lives. In the hearing care professions, there will be an increased focus on the need to sanitize items that come in frequent contact with patients, such as transducer cables from audiometers, immittance instruments, OAE analyzers, and hearing instrument verification systems, just to name a few. It’s also quite possible that, at least for the near future, hearing care professionals (HCPs) will want to limit close contact with patients. In a profession that requires close contact during almost all patient encounters, this is going to be a challenge, to say the least. 

Have these uncertain times caused you to experience more downtime than your used to? If so, we have some incredible educational opportunities that will help you make the most of the extra time you have on your hands. 

As the most comprehensive tele-audiology solution on the market, the Interacoustics Remote Audiology System (RAS) gives you multiple options to choose from. However, with so many options comes a tough decision on which is the right one for you. You don’t want to overpay for features that you aren’t going to use. You also don’t want to buy something that your workspace can’t accommodate. 

We've made a fun new infographic to visually explain the differences between the 4 variations of tele-audiology.

What Is Tele-Audiology

Many people don’t have the time to see their health care providers. It’s a sad, but true, fact of life. The constraints of career and family obligations make it difficult for many to find time to see their primary care physicians, let alone specialists such as audiologists. 

And then there are those who lack access to care, such as people living in rural communities. When the nearest audiology practice is an hour drive away, it’s difficult to find the motivation to seek treatment. 

While vision screening is important in patients of all ages, it is especially critical for children. According to American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus (AAPOS), 1 in 20 children are at risk of permanent vision loss due to disorders like amblyopia. The good news is, the same foundation states that 80% of these cases can be prevented or cured with early detection and treatment. 

We are excited to announce the launch of our new podcast, “Listen Up!”. This series will take you on a deep dive through some of the hottest and most talked-about topics surrounding the world of audiometric instrumentation and hearing care. Each episode will cover a different topic and will feature special guests with strong expertise on it.
