178 - Integrating Telehealth into Audiology Practice with De Wet Swanepoel and Vinaya Manchaiah


Listen Later

The recently published book “Teleaudiology Today: Remote Assessment and Management of Hearing Loss” provides a practical guide for audiologists looking to adopt telehealth practices. Co-authors Vinaya Manchaiah, PhD, and De Wet Swanepoel, PhD, discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated increased use of teleaudiology for screening, diagnostics, hearing aid fittings, and rehabilitation services.

The book reviews equipment, legal considerations, and step-by-step implementation to supplement in-person care with teleaudiology. Drs. Manchanda and Swanepoel explain how hybrid care models allow some components to be offered remotely, providing convenience for tech-savvy patients who want greater control over their care. While research is still needed on which patients do best with teleaudiology, the authors emphasize that the book was structured to provide clinicians with hands-on tools to adopt telepractice, supported by expertise from leaders currently using teleaudiology.
Proceeds from sales of the book will help fund research on improving accessibility to ear and hearing healthcare in South Africa. It is currently available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKQ72KV7/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1696821991&sr=8-2
