“…In a trial on depression, found no differences between live group treatment and Internet CBT. Kaldo et al (2008) similarly found no differences between live group treatment and Internet therapy in a trial on patients with tinnitus. Generally, the treatment gains are maintained at follow-up and include a 36-month follow-up after Internet therapy for gambling problems (Carlbring & Smit, 2008).…”

“…Based on the feedback and clinical experience obtained from these studies, the authors redeveloped the program to improve retention and treatment outcomes and subsequently published a follow-up controlled trial incorporating these changes. 36 Main changes included expanding the self-help text; having participants define their own treatment goals and set priorities for free time required for treatment before commencement; encouraging participants to plan homework assignments on the Web site; providing more detailed and personalized instructions and registration sheets for printing; considerably expanding the Internet diaries for reporting homework assignments; allowing participants to choose if, and when, to start with some of the less general treatment tools; and ensuring that the Web site was informative regarding expectations. Both treatment groups (Internet-based vs. group cognitive therapy) yielded significant positive results with no significant differences in main outcome measures.…”

“…[33][34][35][36] The treatment program was a self-help manual constructed following cognitive behavioral principles and included 10 components presented in six modules on a weekly basis for 6 weeks. This self-help program was presented on Web pages, and weekly diaries were submitted to follow progress and give feedback.…”

Hearing loss is a pervasive global healthcare concern with an estimated 10% of the global population affected to a mild or greater degree. In the absence of appropriate diagnosis and intervention it can become a lifelong disability with serious consequences on the quality of life and societal integration and participation of the affected persons. Unfortunately, there is a major dearth of hearing healthcare services globally, which highlights the possible role of telehealth in penetrating the underserved communities. This study systematically reviews peer-reviewed publications on audiologyrelated telehealth services and patient=clinician perceptions regarding their use. Several databases were sourced (Medline, SCOPUS, and CHINAL) using different search strategies for optimal coverage. Though the number of studies in this field are limited available reports span audiological services such as screening, diagnosis, and intervention. Several screening applications for populations consisting of infants, children, and adults have demonstrated the feasibility and reliability of telehealth using both synchronous and asynchronous models. The diagnostic procedures reported, including audiometry, video-otoscopy, oto-acoustic emissions, and auditory brainstem response, confirm clinically equivalent results for remote telehealth-enabled tests and conventional face-to-face versions. Intervention studies, including hearing aid verification, counseling, and Internet-based treatment for tinnitus, demonstrate reliability and effectiveness of telehealth applications compared to conventional methods. The limited information on patient perceptions reveal mixed findings and require more specific investigations, especially post facto surveys of patient experiences. Tele-audiology holds significant promise in extending services to the underserved communities but require considerable empirical research to inform future implementation.

“…• cost reduction -the ability of the digital to mitigate the increasing cost burdens of delivering healthcare and pressures on resources (Brock and Smith 2007, Kaldo et al 2008, Muñoz 2010, Riper et al 2011) and shifts to exploit the resources of patients themselves via digital media (Hejlesen et al 2001); • qualitative improvement -arguments are made that digital media maybe more clinically effective than traditional modes of intervention for particular conditions (Brendryen andKraft 2008, Kahol 2011); • improved accessibility -digital media are argued to afford potentially 24 hours a day access and pacing of treatment to suit individuals' needs and lifestyles (Strecher 2007, Gomez 2008, Rice et al 2012, • Rini et al 2012);…”
