Telehealth in audiology: an integrative review

SUMMARY We performed an integrative review on the scientific literature about the use of telehealth in audiology care. Through high criteria search of published studies on the “Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde” – Virtual Health Library, PubMed, and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases, nine articles were selected. It was possible to verify that the use of telehealth in audiology is feasible and efficient, because it could promote audiological care for patients from away places. This process reaches more patients and communities by breaking down geographic barriers, and it offers a specific service not available with less cost and more quickly when compared with traditional speech therapy care.
