Audiology is the study of hearing, balance and other related disorders, Audiologists are experts in hearing loss and balance issues. They assist people experiencing hearing loss by offering them hearing aids and other technologies to enhance their communication ability.

When should I see an Audiologist?

If you experience sudden hearing loss, dizziness or vertigo you should visit the nearest Emergency department at the hospital to have a hearing test. After the test, you may be referred to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist (ENT). An Audiologist can also provide this test, in addition to a number of other services including:

• Counselling and Aural Rehabilitation
• Assessments of hearing and auditory function, auditory processing function and neural function
• Wax removal and management
• Hearing protection such as plugs and hearing aids
• Tinnitus rehabilitation
• Vestibular (balance) function and rehabilitation
• Communication training
