Internet-Based Hearing Assessment During COVID era in Indian Population: Practical and Safe Option

This pilot observation intends to stress on web-based hearing assessment (WBHA) as somewhat parallel to clinical pure tone audiometry. While WBHA was comparable with PTA in context of severity of deafness particularly in symmetrical hearing loss, it was inconclusive for a gross asymmetry despite mul...

Sumario:This pilot observation intends to stress on web-based hearing assessment (WBHA) as somewhat parallel to clinical pure tone audiometry. While WBHA was comparable with PTA in context of severity of deafness particularly in symmetrical hearing loss, it was inconclusive for a gross asymmetry despite multiple trials. With increasing COVID transmission, more need for social distancing and lack of audiologists in developing countries, the self-participation by patients in WBHA model will prove to be a very safe model of deafness-screening.
