Our Audiology Department specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of hearing, balance, and related disorders. Audiologists not only diagnose and rehabilitate hearing loss, but they also provide professional services for children and adults who are at risk for or who have hearing, balance, and related problems. Typical recommended courses of treatment could be audiologic rehabilitation, hearing assistive technology, hearing aids, digitally modulated (DM) systems, cochlear implants, and alerting devices, depending on your specific needs.
