Abstract

Social distance, quarantine measures, and the risk of infection during the new coronavirus pandemic have limited course of diagnosis, follow-up, and rehabilitation of patients with hearing loss. Audiologists are looking for innovative ways to meet the patients’ needs and to overcome these difficulties. Tele-audiology applications, supported by new technologies, can help reduce the risk of spreading the infection and maintain social distancing by avoiding direct patient contact. This review aims to examine the opportunities offered by tele-audiology applications to overcome the clinical difficulties caused by the need for social distancing and the pandemic.

Özet

Yeni koronavirüs pandemisi ülkemiz ve dünya çapında devam ederken sosyal mesafe, karantina protokolleri ve enfeksiyon riski; işitme kayıplıhastaların tanı, takip ve rehabilitasyon süreçlerini kısıtlamaktadır. Dünya’da neler olursa olsun, hastaların ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için sürekliolarak yeni ve yenilikçi yollar aramaktayız. Yeni teknolojilerle desteklenmiş tele-odyoloji uygulamaları, doğrudan hasta temasından kaçınarakhastalığın yayılma riskinin azalmasına ve sosyal mesafenin korunmasına yardımcı olabilir. Bu derlemenin amacı, tele-odyoloji uygulamalarınınsosyal mesafe ve pandemi ile ilişkili klinik zorlukların üstesinden gelebilme fırsatını incelemektir.
