About audiologists

Audiologists are hearing health professionals who identify, diagnose and manage individuals with peripheral or central hearing loss, tinnitus, vestibular and balance disorders and other communication disorders across the lifespan.Reference1

Audiologists may practise independently or within an interprofessional framework, collaborating with other professionals such as speech–language pathologists, physicians (e.g., pediatricians, ear–nose–throat specialists, geneticists), nurses, educators, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, child care staff and social workers, as well as communication health assistants. Audiologists provide a broad range of clinical and other professional services.Reference2
