Covid-19 sharpens the benefits of teleaudiology. Half of those aged 75+ and one-third of the 65+ have hearing loss. During the pandemic, telehealth use grew sharply in the care of older adults, enabled by CMS reimbursement changes that likely will be permanent. It’s also likely that teleaudiology ( the utilization of telehealth to provide audiological services ) will gain additional importance when face-to-face visits are worrisome, even impossible in some locations.
