Diagnostic Audiology

Diagnostic audiology is a specialized area of audiology focused on assessing hearing and balance function to identify specific issues. It involves a series of detailed tests that measure how well the ears detect sounds, understand speech, and maintain equilibrium. These tests help determine the type, degree, and cause of hearing or balance problems. The results guide healthcare providers in developing effective treatment plans, such as hearing aids, medical interventions, or balance therapy. Diagnostic audiology is essential for accurately diagnosing conditions to improve communication, safety, and quality of life.
