Audiology/Hearing Specialists

An audiologist is a professional who evaluates and treats individuals with hearing loss and/or vestibular (balance) problems. They use a variety of special tests to identify if there is a hearing or balance problem that may be related to parts of the ear. Audiologists use this information to identify the type, degree and location of the problem in the auditory (hearing) or vestibular (balance) system. Audiologists are specially trained in helping people with hearing loss using a therapeutic approach through hearing devices.

If we determine that you may benefit from hearing aids, we will let you know about options that are right for you. We may refer you to an ear, nose and throat physician (if you haven’t already seen one) before you start your hearing aid journey.
