HEARING

An audiologist is a person who has a masters or doctoral degree in Audiology - the science of hearing. There are 6000 audiologists across America who are focused on evaluating and treating the effects of permanent hearing loss... Audiologists work in a variety of settings including hospitals, clinics, private practices (such as ours), ENT physician offices, medical centers, universities, rehabilitation facilities, cochlear implant centers, and speech and hearing centers. Although the vast majority of hearing problems do not require medical or surgical intervention, audiologists are clinically and academically trained to determine those that do need medical referral... As a licensed healthcare provider, the audiologist appropriately refers patients to physicians when the history or audiological evaluation show the possibility of a medical or surgical problem.
