3. TeleHealth Appointment

At the day and time of your appointment, your Hearing Care Provider will connect with you for a video chat, using the myPhonak App. During your appointment, you will use your hearing aids to do a remote hearing test. With the results of the test, the provider will work with you to make real-time adjustments to the hearing aids, optimizing its fitting. After answering any other questions you may have, you will then schedule a follow up TeleHealth Appointment within the next couple of days.
 

Tips when connecting

• Be sure you are seated comfortably. It will help to have a table in front of you and the tablet sitting in the green tablet holder that has been provided. The tablet should not be plugged in for the video call so it will sit in the green tablet holder correctly.
• Make sure the room is well-lit and relatively quiet.
• A spouse, family member, and/or friend are welcome to sit nearby for support.
