PURPOSE
This article explores different meanings of innovation within the context of audiology and the Internet. Case studies are used to illustrate and elaborate on the new types of innovation and their levels of impact.
METHOD
The article defines innovation, providing case studies illustrating a taxonomy of innovation types.
RESULTS
Innovation ranges from minor changes in technology implemented on existing platforms to radical or disruptive changes that provide exceptional benefits and transform markets. Innovations within the context of audiology and the Internet can be found across that range. The case studies presented demonstrate that innovations in hearing care can span across a number of innovation types and levels of impact. Considering the global need for improved access and efficiency in hearing care, innovations that demonstrate a sustainable impact on a large scale, with the potential to rapidly upscale this impact, should be prioritized.
CONCLUSIONS
It is unclear presently what types of innovations are likely to have the most profound impacts on audiology in the coming years. In the best case, they will lead to more efficient, effective, and widespread availability of hearing health on a global scale.
目的
本文探讨了听力学与互联网背景下创新的不同含义。通过案例研究来说明和阐述新型创新及其影响程度。
方法
本文对创新进行了定义，并提供案例研究以说明创新类型的分类法。
结果
创新范围涵盖从在现有平台上实施的微小技术变革到能带来非凡益处并改变市场的激进或颠覆性变革。在听力学与互联网背景下的创新涵盖了这一范围。所呈现的案例研究表明，听力保健领域的创新可跨越多种创新类型和影响程度。考虑到全球对改善听力保健的可及性和效率的需求，应优先考虑那些能在大规模上产生可持续影响且有可能迅速扩大这种影响的创新。
结论
目前尚不清楚未来几年哪些类型的创新可能对听力学产生最深远的影响。在最佳情况下，它们将在全球范围内带来更高效、有效的听力健康服务，且覆盖面更广。
