Audiologists are healthcare professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating hearing and balance disorders. They conduct various tests to assess hearing ability and determine the best course of action for individuals experiencing hearing loss or related issues. Audiologists often work with patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly. In addition to testing, audiologists provide rehabilitation services, such as fitting and adjusting hearing aids. They also educate patients and their families about hearing health and prevention strategies. Audiologists may work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and private practices, collaborating with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care.
