“…The use of automated, portable systems in ototoxicity monitoring would allow for the possibility of other healthcare workers to be trained to administer a limited monitoring protocol under the supervision of an audiologist. 31 These devices could also allow for the patient to test himself or herself with results sent to the audiologist for interpretation. This is an area that would merit further investigation.…”

Objective Platinum-based chemotherapy drugs are associated with substantial ototoxicity. The hearing of children treated with these drugs should be closely monitored. Method A questionnaire was sent out to the 19 audiology departments associated with national paediatric cancer specialist centres in the UK looking at current practice in ototoxicity monitoring. Results Responses were received from 17 of 19 centres (89 per cent). All offered some form of audiometric monitoring service. Extended high-frequency testing (9–20 kHz) was only utilised by 7 services (29 per cent). A majority of respondents were reluctant to consider self-test devices in paediatric ototoxicity monitoring (n = 9; 53 per cent). Provision of long-term audiological follow up is sporadic with only 4 (23 per cent) respondents keeping all children with normal hearing under review once treatment is completed. Conclusion While some good practice in paediatric ototoxicity was identified, opportunities exist to improve clinical practice and protocols, promote multidisciplinary team working and to utilise technologies such as extended high frequency and self-test audiometry.

“…Markov Model Schematic A tablet audiometer can be used to serve as a portable and accessible solution that can be used by health care professionals outside of the audiology department. 18 A previous study on the benefits of tablet-based ototoxicity monitoring for routine screening in adult CF patients showed that it increased patient accessibility and broadened the range of personnel capable of administrating screening. 19 Clinical pharmacists are uniquely positioned as the medication experts to conduct ototoxicity screening as a part of medication management and drug toxicity monitoring.…”

“…These applications generally rely on the internal sound card of the mobile device to process target media and a standard pair of headphones to present the sound to the user. While many of these applications have been developed and empirically researched as audiometers, few of these systems have the ability to administer general speech-in-noise tests (Brungart et al 2017). The ShoeBOX Audiometer system is an iPad-based hearing test system with support for testing with pure tones or speech stimuli (Rourke, Kong, and Bromwich 2016).…”

Objective: The recent emphasis on outcomes-based medical research has motivated a need for technology that allows researchers and clinicians to reach a larger and more diverse subject population for recruitment and testing. Design: This article reports on open-source mobile software (TabSINT) that enables researchers to administer customised hearing tests and questionnaires on tablets located across multiple sites. Researchers create and modify test protocols using text-based templates and deploy it to the tablets via a cloud-based repository or USB-computer connection. Results are exported locally to the tablet SD card and can also be automatically posted to a cloud-based database. Results: Between 2014 and 2019, TabSINT collected 25,000þ test results using more than 200þ unique test protocols for researchers located worldwide. Conclusions: TabSINT is a powerful software system with the potential to greatly enhance research across multiple disciplines by enabling access to subject cohorts in remote and disparate locations. Released open-source, this software is available to researchers across the world to use and adapt to their specific needs. Researchers with engineering resources can contribute to the repository to extend the capability and robustness of this software.

Using tablet-based technology to deliver time-efficient ototoxicity monitoring

Abstract: New mobile technology has the potential to influence the development and implementation of OMPs and lower barriers to patient access by providing time efficient, portable and self-administered testing options for use in the clinic and in the patient's home.
