Abstract:
In recent times, teleaudiology has emerged as a critical
field in audiology, gaining unprecedented momentum
due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the world faced
these unique challenges, the audiology profession experienced a pressing need for innovation, particularly in the realm
of teleaudiology. Though the technology and the concept had
been available, its urgency and importance skyrocketed due to
the restrictive physical distancing measures. Major strides
were taken in the development and expansion of teleaudiology
practices, significantly enhancing clinician and patient openness to this approach to service delivery. As editors of “Teleaudiology Today: Remote Assessment and Management of
Hearing Loss,” we recognized the growing demand for practical guidance in this area. Our book is therefore designed as a
practical guide that offers a comprehensive overview of teleaudiology focusing on adults with hearing loss, aiming to serve
as a crucial resource for audiologists and students navigating
the changing landscape of hearing care.
