Tele-audiology Toolkit
Welcome to the American Academy of Audiology Tele-audiology Toolkit! This toolkit is the result of collaboration between the 2014–2015 Business Enhancement Strategies and Techniques (BEST) Committee, in partnership with the Academy Tele-audiology Task Force.

This kit is designed to provide tools and resources to help you address this evolving service delivery model, while maintaining a successful and vital practice where the audiologist remains central in the provision of hearing health-care diagnosis and treatment practices. The kit will evolve and be updated as new information and research becomes available.
