DEVICE

Remote CI Counseling

The remote setup includes a 500 series teleconference audio and video live set-up. The teleconference set-up will be situated on a telemedicine cart and placed within the sound-proof booth at the testing site (UK ENT practice in Morehead, KY). The audiologist will deliver the session remotely.

OTHER

In-Person CI Counseling

The standard face-to-face counseling that will occur between the participant and audiologist is the standard of care. No technology will be used. The audiologist will deliver the session face-to-face with the participant in the same room (standard practice).
