The First Audiologists in Alaska to Introduce Innovative Tele Audiology
We understand that getting to our office for a hearing care appointment isn’t as simple as hopping in the truck, riding the snowmobile, or hooking up the dogs to the sled.
Because of Alaska’s unique geographical features, enormous size, and sometimes impassable roads, Alaska Hearing made the decision to provide a teleaudiology service to our patients long before the COVID-19 lockdowns made it necessary.
Tele Audiology provides a way for you to connect with our hearing care professionals for continuing hearing care and technical support for hearing instruments from wherever you happen to be.
Using the video camera on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop device, you can have a face-to-face consultation with your hearing care provider without having to come in for an office visit.
Although many offices in the lower 48 set up the service in compliance with COVID-19 social distancing restrictions, we set up our service in 2018 in response to the unique challenges our patients often have to overcome in order to make it in for an office visit. Our patients have come to rely on receiving the same high-level hearing care from our teleaudiology appointments as they get whenever they can make it in.
