What is Audiology?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Audiologists are healthcare professionals who provide patient-centered care in the prevention, identification, diagnosis, and evidence-based management of hearing, balance, and other auditory disorders. Hearing and balance disorders are often complex and multifactorial. Audiologists provide individualized services to help minimize the negative affect of these disorders to improve quality of life for patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our highly-skilled and trained audiologists have earned a Clinical Doctorate in Audiology (AuD). After obtaining a bachelor\u2019s degree in Speech & Hearing Sciences (or a closely related field), they attended 4 years of graduate school courses, clinical training, and complete a doctoral research project to earn their degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
