Given the current climate caused by COVID-19, there is concern regarding the quality & availability of audiological care. Currently there is limited care being provided with no end to the Pandemic in sight. Therefore, it is unclear when in-person hearing care will continue. However, there are options for treatment in the interim. Dr. Cliff will present on the current state of audiology clinics, hearing treatment alternatives, and how the COVID-19 Pandemic could change the future of audiology, followed by Q&A.
