What is an Audiologist?Audiologists deal with balance, hearing, and other ear-related disorders. After examining and identifying balance, auditory, and various neural problems, audiologists evaluate the severity of a client's problem. Testing devices such as computers and audiometers allow our Audiologist to determine which sounds a client hears, the volume at which a client can hear sounds, and the impact of balance problems or hearing loss on their client’s daily life. Diagnosis and treatment is determined as our Audiologist interprets the test results and consults psychological and medical research.
The causes of hearing disorders can range from exposure to loud noise, viral infections, trauma at birth, aging, certain medications, or genetic disorders. Dispensing hearing aids, fitting and tuning cochlear implants, and cleaning ear canals are various treatments our Audiologist provides. Audiologic rehabilitation is another treatment used which includes teaching communication strategies, counseling to cope and adjust to hearing loss, and training to use a variety of hearing instruments.
