Audiology in the Age of AI: How Chat GPT and Related Technologies Will Transform Hearing Healthcare

This week, host Dave Kemp explores the potential impact of AI on the future of hearing care - and what that means for clinicians and the patients they serve. He sits down with two leading voices in this area in audiology: De We Swanepoel, PhD and Jan-Willem Wasmann, MSc. They discuss the potential benefits and risks of technologies like ChatGPT for the audiology community and in healthcare in general.
They discuss the need for a more community-driven approach to Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, where clinicians and researchers can train the model on specific parameters important for audiology and compile a database of best practices. This approach can help disseminate clinical approaches, provide better access to information for patients, and improve clinical workflows.
Overall, the conversation highlights the potential for LLMs to create a new era in healthcare and audiology.
