Teleaudiology allows audiologists to readjust your hearing aids remotely through the internet. The only requirement on the part of the user is to have an smart phone or tablet with internet connection. Given their background in connectivity, Resound's LiNX Quattro hearing aids are among the most cutting-edge in this new method of programming and adjusting hearing aids. For its part, this brand addresses these solutions in two different ways, each with its advantages and disadvantages:
- On the one hand, you can make a video conference with the audiologist through their smart phone application. In this way, user and professional can establish a fluid dialogue. This fact, combined with the possibility of reprogramming the devices in real time, implies that the user can immediately communicate his impressions on the changes that audiologists are applying. It is really like a face-to-face session. Currently, this option is only available for IOS, but it will also be available on Android soon.
- On the other hand, the Resound application also allows for asynchronous readjustments. In this case, the direct connection between audiologist and patient is not necessary. The user only has to send a message through the app explaining what the problem is and the audiologist will generate new programming that the user can easily install on their hearing aids. If the user does not like it, the user can return to the previous configuration easily. Of course, the adjustment possibilities are a bit more limited since there is no direct communication in real time, but it can benefit people who do not really have the time to carry out a complete session. This modality is available for IOS and Android.
With this double possibility for remote adjustments, the Resound LiNX Quattro presents us with flexible teleaudiology capable of adapting to the needs of any patient. As in Claso we like to offer the patient what they really need, it seems to us one of the best alternatives when it comes to entering this new future of audiology that, without a doubt, will provide us with better hearing in a comfortable and effective way. With Resound, your audiologist can always be connected to help you with whatever you need.
