“…However, acceptability may be an independent factor to preference, something that is important when considering a teleaudiology service. All the same, the use of telehealth/telemedicine may not be the preferred choice of all patients and health care providers (Flodgren et al 2015;Ravi et al 2018). The results of this current study showed that eight out of ten participants felt that both modes of consultations similarly attended to their needs but none of them reported to have preferred teleaudiology over the face-to-face consultation.…”

Objective: To evaluate and compare the effectiveness and quality of standard face-to-face and teleaudiology hearing aid fitting follow-up consultations and blended services for adult hearing aid users. Design and Study sample: Fifty-six participants were randomly allocated to two equal groups, with equal numbers of new and experienced users. One standard and one teleaudiology follow-up consultation were delivered by an audiologist, the latter assisted by a facilitator. The order was reversed for the second group. Outcome measurement tools were applied to assess aspects of participants' communication, fitting (physical, sensorial), quality of life, and service. Cross-sectional and longitudinal outcomes were analysed. Results: Most participants presented with moderate, sloping, and symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss. The duration of teleaudiology (42.96 ± 2.73 min) was equivalent to face-to-face consultations (41.25 ± 2.61 min). All modes of service delivery significantly improved outcomes for communication, fitting, and quality of life (p > 0.05). Satisfaction for both consultation modes was high, although significantly greater with standard consultations. The mode and order of delivery of the consultations did not influence the outcomes. Conclusion: Teleaudiology hearing aid follow-up consultations can deliver significant improvements, and do not differ from standard consultations. Blended services also deliver significant improvements. Satisfaction can be negatively impacted by technical or human-related issues.

“…Para Correia et al (2014) a telessaúde na região norte/nordeste apresenta um grande desafio quanto à qualidade da conectividade, desafio também apontado pelo estudo de revisão sistemática de Molina-Alvejonas, et al (2015) e outros autores. (RAVI et al, 2018;BUSH et al, 2016).…”

“…As atitudes positivas dos profissionais em relação ao uso das ferramentas da Telessaúde em Audiologia foram constatadas pelo estudo de revisão sistemática conduzido por Ravi et al (2018), que também destacou os principais desafios referentes à limitação de infraestrutura, licença para a realização destes serviços e o reembolso, no caso de teleaudiologia aplicada aos pacientes.…”

A formação de profissionais especializa- dos na área da (re)habilitação auditiva para crianças com deficiência auditiva é um desafio que pode ser enfrentado com as ferramentas da Telessaúde. Neste sentido, os objetivos deste estudo de caso foram: avaliar o efeito da teleconsultoria assíncrona sobre a qualidade da terapia fonoaudiológica de crianças com deficiência auditiva, bem como analisar a satisfação dos fonoaudiólogos com a teleconsultoria no modelo assíncrono. A partir da análise de quinze sessões de terapias realizadas por duas fonoaudiólogas de um serviço de saúde auditiva do Rio Grande do Norte, creden- ciado ao Sistema Único de Saúde, foram comparados os escores do instrumento de análise da qualidade da sessão de terapia fonoaudiológica nos momentos pré e pós a teleconsultoria. A análise dos vídeos de terapia foi realizada por dois pesquisadores, de maneira independente e foi estabelecido o critério de confiabilidade para esta análise. Investigou-se também a satisfação dos fonoaudiólogos com o serviço de teleconsultoria oferecido. Os resultados indicaram índice de mudança confiável da qualidade das terapias fonoaudiológicas após as teleconsultorias assíncronas. Os fonoaudiólogos avaliaram positivamente a teleconsultoria assíncrona, indicando sua satisfação com a mesma. A teleconsultoria assíncrona produziu efeitos positivos nas terapias fonoaudiológicas analisadas, com a melhoria da qualidade do serviço ofertado às crianças com deficiência auditiva.

“…Teleaudiological application provided by a qualified provider, primarily developed for patients with limited access to health care, validated for efficacy and cost-effectiveness, with equivalent outcomes to those achieved via FTF measures, is supported by the American Academy of Audiology and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. At present, a low clinical adoption of teleaudiology has been identified (Eikelboom & Swanepoel, 2016), despite a positive attitude regarding acceptance of teleaudiology by professionals (Eikelboom & Swanepoel, 2016;Ravi, Gunjawate, Yerraguntla, & Driscoll, 2018;Singh, Pichora-Fuller, Malkowski, Boretzki, & Launer, 2014). The lack of education and training regarding IBI provided in current degree programs could partly contribute to the low clinical adoption of teleaudiology.…”

Purpose Advancements in digital and computing technologies have created opportunities for innovations in the provision of health care remotely. The aim of this article is to provide audiological professionals with a summary of literature regarding existing audiological Internet-based interventions (IBIs). The specific objectives are to (a) provide an overview of the range of audiological IBIs for adults with hearing loss, balance disorders, and tinnitus; (b) identify the features included in these IBIs and possible benefits; and (c) identify difficulties and challenges regarding the implementation and use of audiological IBIs. Method Relevant articles were identified through literature review conducted in the PubMed database and gray literature. The relevant information from these sources, such as the type of intervention and main outcomes, were summarized. Results A range of IBIs were identified, with the majority addressing tinnitus distress. Those for hearing loss have been applied at different stages of the patient journey. Unguided IBIs for vestibular difficulties included self-help for Ménière's disease and vestibular rehabilitation. Most tinnitus IBIs provided cognitive behavioral therapy. Overall, IBIs showed benefits in terms of outcome and accessibility. Barriers include uncertainties surrounding cost-effectiveness, optimal level of support, and improving intervention compliance. Conclusions Telehealth applications are expanding in audiology, and IBIs have been developed to provide auditory rehabilitation, vestibular rehabilitation, and tinnitus interventions. IBIs have the potential to offer accessible and affordable services. More work is required to further develop these interventions and optimize outcomes.
