AI Receptionist for Audiology Practices
A healthcare-only AI receptionist for audiology: hearing test scheduling, device and repair calls, and follow-ups answered in under a second, 24/7.
Section 1
Why Audiology Front Desks Need a Different Kind of Answering
Audiology practices carry a call mix general answering services rarely account for. A single afternoon can bring a new patient asking about a hearing evaluation, an existing patient whose hearing aid stopped working, a spouse coordinating a device fitting, and a coverage question about a Medicare or insurance benefit. Front desks field heavy call volume while also greeting patients, running booth appointments, and handling device paperwork, so calls slip to voicemail during the busiest hours. Missed calls quietly cost new patients, and long hold times push callers to hang up and try another clinic. MedReception AI is a healthcare-only AI receptionist. Katie answers in under a second and handles unlimited simultaneous calls, so a rush of afternoon callers never hits a busy signal. Every call is understood in audiology terms and captured as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary your team can act on without replaying a recording.

Scheduling Hearing Tests and Fitting Appointments
Audiology visits are not interchangeable, and booking them correctly the first time protects your booth schedule. A comprehensive audiologic evaluation, a hearing aid fitting, a real-ear measurement, a device orientation, and a follow-up check each need different time blocks and often different providers. Sallie handles scheduling with audiology-aware logic: she distinguishes a first-time hearing test request from a returning patient booking a fitting or an annual recheck, and routes each to the right provider and appointment length. She confirms whether the caller is new or established, gathers referral or physician-order details when your workflow requires them, and captures reason-for-visit so staff are not re-interviewing the patient on arrival. Calls can be routed by provider, urgency, or triage rules you define. MedReception AI makes no autonomous changes to the chart; Sallie collects and structures the booking details, and your team confirms them in your EMR.
Section 3
Device Calls, Repairs, and DME Questions
Hearing aids generate a steady stream of calls that have nothing to do with scheduling an evaluation, and they are exactly the calls that clog a front desk. Patients call because a device stopped charging, a dome fell off, an aid needs a repair sent to the manufacturer, or they want to reorder wax guards, batteries, or receivers. Others ask about warranty status, loss-and-damage coverage, or where their device sits in the repair pipeline. Katie captures these device and DME requests cleanly: which ear, the make and model if the patient knows it, the symptom, and whether they need a drop-off, a mailed part, or a booth appointment. Each request becomes a structured summary your audiology assistants can triage in order rather than piece together from voicemails. Because MedReception AI is multilingual, callers more comfortable in another language still get their device issue documented accurately the first time.
Section 4
After-Hours Coverage and Follow-Up Without Chasing Voicemail
Hearing loss does not keep office hours, and neither do the questions that follow a fitting. A patient adjusting to new aids may call in the evening frustrated by feedback or volume; a caregiver may call after work to arrange a parent's evaluation. When your booth is closed, Annie covers after-hours calls 24/7, answers common questions, and gathers everything needed for a same-quality callback the next morning. For messages left overnight, Victoria turns voicemail into a clean written summary so nothing is lost to a garbled recording. Follow-up calls, post-fitting checks, and reminder outreach all get captured in the same structured format your team already reads. MedReception AI is HIPAA-aligned and available under a BAA in the US, with PIPEDA and PHIPA coverage in Canada and Privacy Act and APP alignment in Australia, so patient details are handled appropriately across every call your practice takes.

Built to Fit Your Audiology Workflow and EMR
An AI receptionist only helps if it slots into the system your practice already runs on. MedReception AI ships with 30-plus specialty templates, including audiology-aware call handling, so you are not starting from a blank script. It is EMR-aware across athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed, with structured summaries formatted to paste directly into the patient record. To be clear about what it does and does not do: the AI answers, triages, schedules, and documents, but makes no autonomous chart changes, so your clinical record stays under your team's control. Onboarding is guided by Bailey; athenahealth and eClinicalWorks setups often run one to three weeks, and other EMRs typically three to six weeks.
