Tele Audiology
Video calls and video conferencing have become an essential part of keeping in touch with family, friends, and even colleagues.
The Hearing Center is now taking advantage of the innovative technology provided by teleconferencing to provide Pensacola and the surrounding community with hearing care via our new Tele-Audiology service.
What is Tele-Audiology?
Tele-Audiology provides patients and audiologists a new way to connect in order to provide hearing healthcare. Using the video camera on your cell phone, computer, or tablet, you can communicate directly with your hearing care provider without having to schedule an office visit.
In addition, tele-audiology allows anyone who has concerns about their hearing to receive no-obligation advice from an audiologist through a 15-minute initial consultation. This service helps encourage individuals who are hesitant or have reservations about visiting an audiologist to seek the help they need. Tele-audiology also makes it easier for family and friends to encourage their loved one to get help for their untreated hearing loss.
Setting up a Tele-Audiology Consultation Is a Snap
A tele-audiology consultation is as easy to set up as scheduling an appointment in the clinic, if not easier. Whether you are new to The Hearing Center or already one of our patients, here are the steps to follow for setting up a consultation, and what you can expect along the way
Step One
Fill Out The Tele-Audiology Consultation Form
Fill out the Tele-Audiology Consultation form and one of our Hearing Center patient care specialists will contact you in order to schedule your appointment.
Step Two
Receive A Confirmation Email
After confirming a scheduled time with your patient care specialist, you will receive a confirmation email. The email will contain information to help you set up and test the camera and microphone on your device and share the link needed to connect for your tele-audiology appointment.
Step Three
Connect With An Audiologist
When the agreed-upon date and time arrive, you will be connected via tele-conferencing to one of our professional audiologists for a face-to-face consultation.
Step Four
A No-Obligation, Initial Consultation
Our no-obligation, initial consultation will include a conversation about your occupation, lifestyle, hobbies, and activities you enjoy, your medical history and medications as well as the history of hearing loss in your family. We will listen to your concerns and reservations related to hearing loss and treatment for hearing loss and provide you with professional advice. If testing is necessary and something you want to pursue, we can make the necessary arrangement to provide a safe environment to conduct a comprehensive hearing test.
Step Five
Troubleshooting Advice For Current Patients
Those who are already patients can also take advantage of The Hearing Center’s tele-audiology service to receive face-to-face troubleshooting advice, remote programming assistance or to have your questions answered by your hearing care provider just like you would if you were physically sitting in one of our offices.
