Description:
In-person evaluations are considered the gold standard in audiological testing. A complete eight part face-to-face evaluation provides the audiologist with the non-verbal comprehension vital to understanding the whole picture.

As the industry moves towards a tele-audiology option either through lack of facilities/infrastructure, remote locations, illness, or other, understanding the value of the application is essential to the future of the industry.

This webinar will focus on the challenges and value of patient-centric care and its relation to tele-audiology.

Learning Objectives: 
1. Define tele-audiology and the challenges it brings.
2. Discuss how to overcome the barriers that restrict the application and use of tele-audiology.
3. Describe the rapid expansion of technology and how it can support the high standards of our industry.
