Discussion
Signed responses from readers of the wire.
Remote Check shows promise for monitoring cochlear implant users between appointments, but audiologists should await peer-reviewed outcome data on accuracy and reliability before replacing in-person evaluations with this tool.
Scalable remote monitoring for cochlear implant users could reduce clinic burden and improve access to follow-up care, especially for patients in underserved or remote areas.
