Phones can screen children
Two lecturers from the University of Pretoria have created new software which means hearing screening in schools and clinics could be just a smartphone away.
The software developed by Prof. Swanepoel and Dr Myburgh comprises an automated test sequence in accordance with prescribed procedures and regulations.
The NCHA sees great potential for apps and new technologies such as these to help bring hearing care into the mainstream.
