As part of Triton Hearing’s commitment to provide better hearing, in April 2017 we introduced a world-first with TeleAudiology – an innovation that connects audiologists with clients around New Zealand using a high-definition teleconferencing system.

Overcoming the challenge of distance

Seeing an audiologist is difficult for some New Zealanders, especially in remote areas. Here at Triton Hearing, our aim is to eliminate the challenge of distance through TeleAudiology.

"With Triton Teleaudiology, the challenge of distance is eliminated. Communication technology enables remote consultations and the delivery of audiological services even if the client and audiologist are hundreds of kilometres apart."

-Triton Hearing Managing Director James Whittaker

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, the New Zealand Audiology Society and Australian Audiology have endorsed telepractice as an appropriate model of service delivery for the audiology profession. Fur-ther, the quality of services delivered via telepractice are consistent with the quality of services delivered face-to-face, and the New Zealand Ministry of Health has viewed the technology and provided its initial support.

To compliment TeleAudiology Triton Hearing has also unveiled Lady Penelope, a striking 1949 Bedford Bus-turned-Mobile Hearing Clinic, who’s been stationed at various expos in rural areas around the country performing TeleAudiology.

Lady Penelope has been used for Innovation Days at clinics where clients can be assessed and fit on the same day as well as journeyed on a 17-day tour around the Mount Taranaki region of New Zealand, testing and fitting the elders in the region’s Maori communities.

“We proved to the world that we could do TeleAudiology. I wanted to take this a step further, I wanted to prove that we could do TeleAudiology in a mobile clinic and improve people’s lives.”

“One of the (Triton Hearing) pillars is accessibility. And I want to make sure we have something that can actually, genuinely go into communities that are struggling to do something about their hearing loss and the stigma of hearing loss.”

-Triton Hearing Managing Director James Whittaker
