Teleaudiology: evaluation of teleconsultation efficacy for hearing aid fitting.
PURPOSE To evaluate teleconsultation 's efficacy for hearing aid fitting . METHODS Fifty hearing impaired individuals with ages ranging from 39 to 88 years and mean audiometric thresholds between 30 and 68.75 dBHL participated in this study . Participants were divided into two groups ( stratified r and omization ) : control group ( n=25 ) , su bmi tted to face-to-face procedures , and experimental group ( n=25 ) , su bmi tted to synchronous teleconsultation with interactive video and remote applicative control . The hearing aids were programmed and verified ( with microphone probe ) , and the subjects received instructions regarding use and care for the device . Time taken for the procedures was measured . Following the consultations , an evaluator ( blind to the groups ) applied the Hearing in Noise Test ( HINT-Brazil ) . Approximately one month after consultations , the daily time of hearing aid use was verified , and the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids ( IOI-HA ) was administered . RESULTS A greater time for programming and verification and a smaller time for orientation were observed for the experimental group . No difference was found between groups for the total consultation time . The real ear measures ' matching to their respective targets was similar for both groups . No difference was observed between groups for the HINT results ( silence and noise ) , the daily amount of use of hearing aids in hours , and the IOI-HA scores . CONCLUSION Teleconsultation is an efficient procedure for hearing aid programming , verification and fitting when face-to-face services are not available
