Audiology

Overview

What is Audiology?

Audiology is a field that focuses on assessing, diagnosing and managing all conditions related to hearing and balance. In essence, it aims to identify the causes of hearing loss, tinnitus and balance disorders and then goes on to provide the appropriate interventions that improve hearing and communication. Audiologists also evaluate how each person processes sound and they guide patients through different treatment options including and not limited to hearing aids, rehabilitation and balance therapy for daily support.
