Traditional hearing health care (HHC) service delivery models focus on face-to-face, clinic-based testing requiring several patient visits. Globally, access to these services is challenging which results in many individuals living with untreated hearing loss, which has pervasive and far-reaching consequences. With the shift in healthcare towards mHealth and modern machine learning there is potential to make HHC accessible through scalable models of care. This can be achieved through low-cost hearing devices, leveraging smartphone technologies, and equipping a larger number of specialists for medical and surgical management of ear and hearing diseases. Furthermore, computational auditory models, advanced algorithms, and the use of artificial intelligence can positively impact the development of new hearing solutions or the optimization of existing ones.
