Remote Audiology System

The Remote Audiology System (RAS), a technology platform developed by World Wide Hearing Foundation International, addresses the lack of access to hearing care for children and adults with hearing loss living in remote communities. The Remote Audiology System is made up of a cloud-based open-access hearing loss platform with mobile and browser-based front-end applications. The platform enables frontline field workers to capture data on patients and aims to facilitate the fitting of hearing aids and follow up, as well as the referral of complex cases to specialists living in-country or abroad.

• Empowering field technicians through technology
• How the Remote Audiology System can accelerate access to hearing aids and hearing care
