Abstract | Introduction: The rise of tele audiology services has revolutionized the field of audiology, offering new possibilities for delivering hearing healthcare remotely. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of tele audiology services in the context of hearing aid fittings through a comprehensive questionnaire-based study. Aim: To evaluate the satisfaction levels and outcomes of individuals who underwent hearing aid fittings via tele audiology services as compared to traditional in-person fittings. Additionally, the study sought to identify the advantages and disadvantages perceived by participants in receiving tele audiology services for hearing aid fittings. Method: A total of 300 participants were enrolled in the study, with half undergoing hearing aid fittings remotely through tele audiology services and the other half through conventional in-person fittings. Participants completed a structured questionnaire that assessed various aspects of the fitting process, including satisfaction levels, communication effectiveness, and overall outcomes. Results: The results revealed that participants who received tele audiology services for hearing aid fittings reported comparable levels of satisfaction and outcomes to those who underwent in-person fittings. Notably, participants in the tele audiology group emphasized the convenience and time efficiency of remote services, while some expressed concerns regarding the lack of face-to-face interaction and personalized care. Discussion: The study provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of tele audiology services in the realm of hearing aid fittings. While tele audiology services demonstrate promising outcomes in terms of satisfaction and efficacy, further research is warranted to address issues related to individualized care and communication in remote settings. Conclusion: The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the integration of tele audiology services in audiological practice, highlighting both benefits and areas for improvement in the delivery of hearing healthcare services. |
