Leading Hearing Aid Provider in Birmingham, AL Introduces “Video Visits” For Remote Hearing Care

Birmingham, Ala. - Beltone USA, the leading provider of hearing aids in Birmingham, AL, recently announced that it now offers real-time video hearing care appointments from more than 1,500 Beltone Hearing Centers in North America. The company hopes to reduce the need for in-office visits at a time when older, more vulnerable populations are advised to stay at home.

Using their proprietary Beltone Remote Care Live, hearing care professionals now have the ability to both consult with their patients via video chat and to remotely make hearing aid adjustments through the Beltone HearMax phone app in real-time. Recognizing that COVID-19, or coronavirus, is a serious issue for the patient populations typically using hearing aids, telehealth services can be a useful tool for both hearing care professionals and their patients. Beltone USA – Birmingham remains open as an essential business. Those in need of new hearing aids or looking to receive a hearing test in Birmingham, AL can contact their local office to set up a remote visit.

“We are fully committed to helping our patients through this difficult time and have accelerated the launch of this service to do exactly that. Remote Care Live becomes even more important as patient access to in-person hearing care is limited as communities across the country implement various “stay home” policies to help minimize COVID-19 spread,” says Monte Dillow, president of Beltone.

“We’ve seen the growth of telemedicine in many medical settings, but it has been a recent introduction to hearing care,” Dillow continues. “With Beltone Remote Care Live, we really take it to a new level, making it easier on our patients and their families to access the hearing care they need.”

Beltone continues to follow the guidelines established by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and is using every precaution recommended in cleaning their facilities and equipment. The health of their patients is as important to the company as their commitment to better hearing.
