| ---- What is an Audiologist? ---- | ||||
|
An Audiologist is a doctor who specializes in evaluating and treating hearing loss. Doctors of Audiology conduct a wide variety of tests to determine whether an individual has a hearing problem and if this hearing problem requires referral to a medical doctor, other healthcare professional or additional Audiological treatment, ie: counseling, auditory therapy, hearing aids or any combination of these treatments. Selecting the right hearing care professional is the most important decision that you as a consumer of Hearing Healthcare services can make. Your success or failure with a hearing aid(s) may hinge upon this relationship. Not all hearing healthcare professionals have the same education, experience and training. Success depends upon the proper selection, fitting and adjustment of the hearing aids and is highly dependent upon the judgment and skill of the professional that is actually fitting the instruments. |
