Patients undergoing ototoxic medical treatments often do not have access to hearing testing which could help prevent permanent, disabling hearing loss. This webinar provides insights into the challenges faced by these patients, reviews the critical need to integrate audiological services into their care, and discusses how automated audiometry can help bridge this gap in hearing healthcare.

Over the last decade, SHOEBOX® has been at the forefront of developing clinically valid audiometric testing solutions designed for use beyond the traditional confines of a sound booth. This presentation will highlight the requirements and methodologies outlined in the relevant American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards that apply to ambient noise monitoring and the specific equipment required to do so.

Leveraging SHOEBOX's cutting-edge solutions, hearing care professionals can expand their reach and offer a more diverse array of services focused on patient needs. In this course, you will learn how hearing care professionals are enhancing their practice with the integration of software-based audiometers for in-clinic, mobile, and remote diagnostic hearing testing, online and in-person hearing screeners for effective triage, and iPad-based automated audiometers for occupational hearing testing and research.

In 2020, SHOEBOX collaborated on pilot studies in conjunction with Bruyère’s Geriatric Rehabilitation Center, the Bruyère Memory Clinic, and the Sam and Ida Ross Memory Clinic at Baycrest to determine the feasibility of implementing hearing screening as part of routine practice and to compare hearing related clinical practices before and after implementation. Key learnings and insights from these hearing screening pilot initiatives will be shared in this webinar.
