Teleaudiology has become a more viable approach to delivering care. Asynchronous and synchronous delivery can be used to deliver Teleaudiology. Hybrid delivery involves using both synchronous and asynchronous modes of delivery. Teleaudiology has been used for otoscopy, audiometry, immitance, cochlear implant programming and newborn screening. Teleaudiology is a viable technology, although reimbursement remains unclear.
