Audiology is a medical specialty that deals with the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of hearing and auditory systems. Audiologists evaluate patients with hearing loss, balance disorders, tinnitus and other auditory problems and determine appropriate treatment plans. As Enodia Health, we work to protect and improve the hearing health of patients with our experts in audiology and modern diagnostic equipment.
Scope of Audiology
- Hearing Tests: Audiologists perform various hearing tests to determine the degree, type, and cause of hearing loss. These tests include audiometry (hearing test), tympanometry (evaluating middle ear function), otoacoustic emission tests (evaluating the health of the inner ear), and auditory brain response tests (BEAP).
- Tinnitus Evaluation: Audiologists perform a detailed evaluation to determine the severity and type of tinnitus. This evaluation helps determine the cause of tinnitus and recommend appropriate treatment options.
- Balance Tests: Audiologists perform various balance tests to evaluate balance disorders. These tests help determine the cause of symptoms such as vertigo and imbalance.
- Auditory Rehabilitation: Audiologists evaluate the suitability of hearing aids, cochlear implants, and other auditory assistive devices and guide patients in the selection and use of appropriate devices. They also provide communication strategies and auditory rehabilitation programs to cope with hearing loss.
