AUDIOLOGY
A hearing doctor (or audiologist) is a healthcare professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating hearing loss, balance disorders, and other issues related to the auditory system. They are trained to identify any underlying medical conditions that may be causing or contributing to these symptoms. Common medical conditions treated by audiologists include ear infections, acoustic neuroma, otosclerosis, Meniere’s disease, perilymph fistula, and sensorineural hearing loss. Audiologists also diagnose and treat tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo (dizziness), hyperacusis (overly sensitive hearing) as well as many other vestibular problems. In addition to diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions affecting the auditory system, an audiologist can provide counseling on how best to manage these conditions for improved quality of life.
