Audiology is a branch of science that studies hearing,balance,and related disorders. Audiologists treat those with hearing loss and proactively prevent related damage. By employing various testing strategies,audiologists aim to determine whether someone has normal sensitivity to sounds. If hearing loss is identified,audiologists determine which portions of hearing are affected,to what degree,and where the lesion causing the hearing loss is found. If an audiologist determines that a hearing loss or vestibular abnormality is present,they will provide recommendations for interventions or rehabilitation.
