N1 - Funding Information:
remotely; and this was the first time that travel awards were offered to competitively selected students and new investigators. Seventy-three individuals attended the meeting in-person, with the majority from North America; however, in-person attendees hailed from every continent except Australia and Antarctica. Over 30 participants streamed the conference in real time, and remote participants took advantage of this opportunity, with 58% reporting watching at least half of the presentations. Remote attendees were mostly from Europe, with additional viewers from North America, Asia, and South America. The 2017 meeting was funded by the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders (grant 1R13DC016547) and the Oticon Foundation (grant 16-3662). This funding allowed us to offer travel awards to five graduate students and three early-career investigators from around the world (two from the United Kingdom; three from the United States; and one each from Brazil, South Africa, and India).

N2 - Purpose: In this introduction, the four members of the scientific committee for the Third International Meeting on Internet and Audiology describe the meeting that took place at the University of Louisville on July 27–28, 2017. Method: This special issue, with a decidedly clinical focus, includes 14 articles that arose from presentations given at the Third International Meeting on Internet and Audiology. All touch upon the theme of innovation as it pertains to teleaudiology and mobile health (mHealth), application of Big Data to audiology, and ethics of internet and telemedicine. Conclusion: Innovations in teleaudiology, mHealth, and Internet-based audiology are developing at a rapid pace and thus research in the field must continue. We invite readers to the next International Meeting on Internet and Audiology that will take place in Southampton, England, June 17–18, 2019.
