Audiologists are involved in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of hearing and balance disorders, working with people of all ages. They combine scientific knowledge and people skills in delivering client-focussed healthcare.
Audiologists:
- assess the hearing of infants, children and adults
- perform complex diagnostic tests to determine the cause of the hearing problem
- assist clients to manage difficulties associated with hearing loss and tinnitus, using technological or other approaches
- assist clients to choose and utilise suitable devices such as hearing aids, cochlear implants or assistive listening devices
- assess and advise on difficulties with balance function
- design individual hearing conservation programs
- work closely with other professionals to promote the best possible health, psychosocial and educational outcomes for their clients.
