WHAT IS AN AUDIOLOGIST
As an audiologist I am a professional who diagnoses and treats hearing and balance problems. I have been trained to diagnose, manage and treat hearing or balance problems for individuals from birth through adulthood. I determine whether a patient's problem is medical or non-medical. If a patient's hearing problem is non-medical in nature, I will prescribe a treatment plan that incorporates a hearing aid or other assistive devices.

CONTINUED SEARCH OF KNOWLEDGE

As an audiologist I belong to national organizations guided by a Code of Ethics requiring that audiologic services be provided in an ethical manner. By virtue of education, professional certification and licensure, audiologists are the most qualified professionals to select and verify the performance of hearing aids. Membership in several professional organizations insures never-ending education.
