Audiology Staff >>

Audiology is the study of hearing disorders through the identification and measurement of hearing loss, as well as the rehabilitation of persons with hearing impairments. An audiologist is a professional who diagnoses, treats, and manages individuals with hearing loss and/or balance problems. Audiologists have received a Master’s or Doctoral degree from an accredited university graduate program with in-depth training in the prevention, identification, assessment, and non-medical treatment of hearing and balance disorders. Their academic and clinical training provides the foundation for management of patients from birth through adulthood.

Audiologists determine appropriate patient treatment for hearing and balance problems by combining a complete patient history with a variety of specialized auditory and balance assessments. Most people with hearing impairment can benefit from the use of hearing aids, and audiologists are the most qualified and knowledgeable about the styles and brands of hearing aids available. These healthcare professionals dispense and fit hearing aids as part of a comprehensive habilitative program.

Hearing loss is caused by medical problems about 10% of the time. Audiologists are trained to recognize these medical problems and refer patients to physicians when the hearing or balance problem requires medical or surgical evaluation or treatment.
