About Program

Overview

Audiology is the science of studying hearing, balance and related disorders. As healthcare professionals, audiologist specialize in “prevention, identification, diagnoses, and evidence-based treatment of hearing, balance, and other auditory disorders for people of all ages” (ASHA, 2021). Utilizing different assessment techniques, audiologists reach a decision as to whether someone’s sensitivity to sound is within normal physiological levels. In contrast, if it is determined not to be so (i.e., a hearing loss is present), audiologists, through a series of meticulous testing, identify the location of the hearing loss (outer/middle/inner ears, auditory nerve, and/or central nervous system), part of hearing affected (i.e., which frequencies), the degree of the identified hearing loss (i.e., severity), and the appropriate course of action (e.g., audiological rehabilitation, referrals to other professionals, etc.). In addition, audiologists provide help to individuals with other ontological disorders such as balance and vestibular disorders, tinnitus, etc.
