Telemedicine in Tinnitus: Feasibility, Advantages, Limitations, and Perspectives

Figure 1

Graphic chart of the sequential use of telemedicine for tinnitus. This flowchart demonstrates the different steps of tinnitus management on a clinical timeline, according to the way the applications are administrated: self-administrated by patients without medical supervision, indirectly supervised by remote health care professionals, or directly supervised in a “face-to-face” conventional setting. This figure displays the hierarchical use of telemedicine tools for tinnitus. Empty boxes represent conventional interventions. Grey-filled boxes represent telemedicine interventions already available. Grey-framed boxes represent telemedicine interventions not yet easily available.
