Abstract: Explore the transformational shift in hearing healthcare - integrating remote consultative and diagnostic testing solutions. This presentation explores how modern technologies including software-based diagnostic audiometers, counselling tools, and remote video otoscopy redefine the patient journey from initial hearing loss identification to ongoing care. Emphasizing clinical validity, convenience, and accessibility, we explore how these advancements provide equitable hearing health access to all patients irrespective of mobility or immunosuppression challenges, rural living, or discomfort in confined spaces such as soundproof audiometric booths. This presentation will equip hearing care professionals with insights for implementing innovative, personalized, efficient, and inclusive hearing healthcare strategies.
