Question

How can my equipment help me meet the needs of the changing audiology landscape?

Answer

The pandemic has changed the audiology landscape forever. Many of the changes that took place are here to stay. The last few years have been particularly demanding forcing audiologists to quite literally think outside of the box. Meeting the needs of our patients required innovation. But these challenges provided opportunities to serve our patients better and changed how we care for them with the added benefit of building our practices. While our in-person practice model was confronted, the reality of a virtual and mobile model presented itself. The pandemic increased the need to meet the patient where they are, to take the clinic to the patient. And with that, the need for both teleaudiology and traveling audiology was given a big push forward.

Teleaudiology

No one could have predicted the pandemic and its crushing effects on providing healthcare.

However, since 2005 Inventis has been anticipating the needs of audiologists. While the need for teleaudiology solutions was gaining momentum prior to the pandemic, the need for high-quality, remote diagnostic hearing assessment was forced to the forefront. The Inventis Satellite Teleaudiology solution stood ready to meet that need. Already employed and well recognized worldwide, Inventis Satellite Teleaudiology solution was poised and ready to meet the needs of remote evaluations.

With the small footprint of the Piccolo Speech audiometer and Satellite’s built-in video conferencing system, the audiologist can perform air conduction, bone conduction, speech audiometry, and even QuickSIN remotely. There is no need to learn yet another video conference system since the video conferencing system is built into the Maestro diagnostic software. This allows the user to test and interact with the patient on the same screen. And since the Maestro software is a module in Noah, all the results are in the clinic's database.

Mobile Audiology

Many practices recognize the need to meet their patients where they provide mobile audiology services. While some have added these services to their existing practice, many audiologists have started mobile practices without having a brick-and-mortar location.

All Inventis equipment has a small footprint and is lightweight. This makes the equipment extremely portable. You can fit all your equipment needs, video otoscopy, tympanometry, audiometer, and real ear system, in one rolling bag. Whether you are providing house calls, providing nursing home care, or seeing patients in an auxiliary office, you can easily take your needed equipment with you. And, whether you are using the same equipment when returning to the office, or using different equipment for teleaudiology and mobile audiology, all the equipment has the same user interface. This makes transitioning and training of staff quite easy.

Adding teleaudiology and mobile audiology to your practice can be a win for your patients and your practice. Having flexible audiology equipment is thinking outside of the box and preparing you for the changing audiology landscape.

The introduction of modern tools assessing otolith and ampullary reflexes in the high-frequency domain (VEMPs and video-HIT, respectively) has enabled a fast functional analysis of all inner ear receptors, offering new interpretations for end-organs and afferents abnormalities detected in patients with cochleo-vestibular pathologies. The literature review highlights how vestibular disorders could result in specific lesion patterns, including selective dysfunctions involving a single receptor. A series of patients with isolated impairment of a semicircular canal at the video-HIT will be presented and discussed. Each selective canal dysfunction will be correlated to the remaining clinical-instrumental data and related inner ear pathology. The underlying hypothetical pathomechanism accounting for each single scenario will be provided, with the help of pertinent bibliographic support.

Over the past five years, we have seen a growing interest in studying vestibular disorders in children. The most commonly noteworthy are vestibular disorders in congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and cochlear implants. Identifying and diagnosing vestibular and balance dysfunction in children is essential for their overall well-being. However, the diagnosis process is very demanding.This talk will provide an overview of vestibular and balance assessments in children with SNHL.

Vestibular disorders in children are a significant cause of childhood morbidity with various manifestations that are often unrecognized or undiagnosed. The etiological profile, phenotype, and management for peripheral and central disorders are markedly different from that in adults. The diagnostic algorithm with the latest technology is also different as children are far more difficult to obtain anamnesis from and to test as compared to adults. Examining a child is really an art that can come from years of experience and knowledge about the pediatric vestibular system and its development. It is also important to recognize the close overlap with pediatric neurology and indeed, a robust knowledge in neurology is essential to practice pediatric neurotology. This presentation includes an overview of the developing pediatric vestibular system in children, the etiology of pediatric vestibular disorders, the diagnostic process with evidence-based latest methods, and their management. The differences in pediatric vestibular diagnosis and disease profiles are also highlighted from the authors’ personal series.
