“…Thus, this study's ping values are faster than that, as a lower ping value indicates a faster server response [17]. While both upload and download speeds are above the minimum recommended by particular research [3,[6][7]15] the recommended internet rates for high-definition and high-quality Skype video calls range between 0.45 Mbps and 1.5 Mbps for download and upload [23][24][25]. According to Figure 4, the lowest Skype download and upload speeds are in SESC Selangor, but they are faster than the suggestion above, which is 18.73 Mbps (download) and 15.94 Mbps (upload).…”

“…Three critical parameters are monitored via the website: upload, download, and ping. As a guideline to assure the smooth operation of this teleaudiology service, several researchers have established a minimum upload and download internet connection speed of between 0.1 Mbps and 0.38 Mbps [3,[6][7]15]. Researchers also measured ping values for internet speed.…”

“…The stability of the internet connection is the primary predictor of this service's success. The previous researcher had proposed 3 Mbps or higher internet connections [2,6,7]. Apart from that, audio-visual quality is also considered important and should be evaluated in telepractice [8].…”

Teleaudiology has been implemented in several settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, community-based programmes, and educational institutions. Despite its numerous advantages, teleaudiology is still relatively new in Malaysia and is gaining popularity among audiologists. Additionally, the majority of studies have been conducted on normal-hearing individuals. Thus, as a pioneer in Malaysia, this study established teleaudiology services for students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) at the Special Education Service Centre. The researchers examined two critical factors that contribute to the service's proper operation: internet speed and the audio-visual quality of the ICT applications employed. This study documented the details of the service's implementation, which included 25 sessions of synchronous teleaudiology with DHH school children. Additionally, this study revealed that upload and download speeds exceed prior research-recommended minimums. Meanwhile, most teleaudiology service sessions are done in high-quality audio and video, except for the Skype programme, which has a moderate visual quality. To summarise, teleaudiology services have been effectively deployed amongst institutions and have the potential to be expanded to another location in Malaysia.
