ABSTRACT

The World Hearing Center in Poland has a long history with teleaudiology, cochlear implants, and, more recently, hearing, vision, and speech testing. The efforts of multinational European working groups have resulted in a number of consensus statements providing a catalyst for hearing screening in children of all ages. These statements have also emphasized the use of modern technologies including teleaudiology as a means to provide the best access of hearing healthcare for children with hearing deficits. The World Hearing Center in Warsaw has developed the System of Integrated Communication Operations telehealth platform (for hearing, speech, and vision testing) and has used this platform to screen more than 1,000,000 children to date.
