AUDIOLOGY
What does an Audiologist do?
Audiologists work directly with patients to assess and rehabilitate hearing and balance problems. Audiologists see people of all ages but most of their work is with children and older people because hearing problems are most common in these groups.
The Audiologist's role is wide-ranging and varied. Duties may include:
- testing, treating and counselling patients
- developing and improving test techniques
- research
- management
- teaching junior Audiologists or other professionals
Many Audiologists develop a special interest and expertise in one area of Audiology, such as paediatrics, balance disorders or complex procedures like cochlear implants. However, for all these roles a scientific approach together with a caring attitude is essential
