018 - Using Non-Custom Amplifiers and Telehealth in Audiology Clinical Practice

The practice of audiology is rapidly changing. It’s simply not enough to passively wait in your clinic for patients to show up looking for help; audiologists must become actively involved in providing care in places beyond the four walls of their clinic.    One of the pioneers in the practice of interventional audiology is Lori Zitelli, AuD of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.   In this episode of This Week in Hearing, we ask Lori how she and her team spearheaded a program that puts non-custom amplifiers on the ears of individuals seeking services in other departments inside UPMC. Additionally, Lori shares her experiences using tele-care to fine-tune and adjustment hearing aids; a topic, based on her recent articles which can be found in the March 2021 20Q at AudiologyOnline, in which she has become an expert.
