description | OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the audiologists’ attitudes and practice towards teleaudiology, as well as to assess the audiological services provided in Egypt and Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A cross sectional study was conducted among 112 audiologists who were recruited through convenience sampling . Multinomial logistic regression was used to test the association between practice of tele audiology as a dependent variable and some independent variables. RESULTS: 25.4% of the studied sample were practicing tele audiology. Participants’ age and attitude toward telemedicine were the independent predictors of tele audiology practice at p value ≤ 0.05. CONCLUSION: The tele audiology practice is essential. Therefore, raising the knowledge of audiologist about the great value of practicing tele audiology is very important, infrastructure, equipment, and technology especially telecommunication should be improved and facilitated for both audiologist and patients. |
