4 Bridges Audiology with Dr. Courtney Guthrie talks about the latest tech in hearing assistance

Watching.

Let's just find it a little bit harder here in our day.

The ashley with a new mask mandate information anthem alon the way, is doctor courtney up with or rigid ideology can morning doctor courtney and her half of me about yourself and where it is audiology or seven ideologist for 10 or 11 years now and i have been at my practice, i can august of 2019.

I work with patients who need hearing aids, cochlear implant on and off to help patients wit tinnitus and san fran thinning myself.

We met many earlier worse filipino handling covert, 19, obviously, things have changed.

How are you handling everything in your practice making patients on nice and safe share, so it's just me in my office which definitely limit the amount people that my patient come in contact with an unable to spread out my patient are not like 30 minutes apart t where they're not interacting with each other, coming in contact each other asking all the right question.

Have you been in contact with anybody.

Do you have any sentence taking temperatures and asking people to wear a mask when they come in perfect it is not infinite anything else around all of you lies in hand sanitizer now that everyone both time i felt a little bit about the technology that's available to whether a patient maybe is not quite comfortable enough to come in o or anything else to help us to sign share, so one of the things that we are looking at getting them remit testing options which we don't have available yet.

The one thing that patient.

You have to come in for an initial testing on that with hearing aid on my programming in around for quite some time, but now with this situation more and more audiology practices are using that more and more seed come in for the task and then after that we can do the original fit.

The first that in all the follow-up remotely via telehealth and and it's working really well.

What technology do you have the help families connected sure.

So what do you think it's been around for a while but i've feel like now, it can be of more use for this people with severe to profound hearing loss and that need not just the hearing aid additional accessories to help in here better.

So with the six feet of special distancing and makes it hard for someone with severe to profound hearing loss to hear someone so remote microphone which is little thin right here on it can be worn by the other person and that voice is due to directly into the patient hearing aid needs are different forms out as microphone sure to me about the people are working remotely at home.

It is a multigenerational family and in a house and what his heart of hearing via we know that life is all been there to carry on work in the neck through jargon option for that.

Fletcher said this teeny connector.

It connects to your tv and streams tv directly to the patient hearing ain't so technically the tv could be almost muted if it's needed, it won't actually go to the tv straight turning down the volum wine and then they choose their own volume in its program based on their hearing loss in the tv going directly to their hearing asap can help with situations when people working from home and others wanting to watch teeny or even if you're watchin tv at the family the person with the hearing lock has the volume that's perfect for them and then the other people and has to choose the volume with the regular remote into everybody's happy everybody's hearing well and not too loud and not to stop this device right here.

It's kind of an all-in-one device.

It can be used to stream phone calls from their fountain to their hearing, it can be used as a remote microphone with me about this one is it had all these different microphone and all the different directions an that you can really pick and choose which way the device focus of the person is across from you to decide if you are you can put it in an omnidirectional mode in a picku everything and then it can ofte be connected to the tv as well.

Perfect for an summer high way that he and mix with the hearing aid sure so hearing aid moistur had always been an issue, but these days, almost all of them are nano coded said they had a really high moisture resistance rating.

However, this box dry and door they would put their hearing aid than here every night got this one had a fan that turns on that rolls over and really sucks up all the moisture that gets inside that hearing aid to prevent any repairs needed down the red.

This is a great device for summer you can't.
