Audiologists can help you with your hearing and communication disorders. They can also help you with balance and processing disorders.

When should I see them?

• You are having difficulties hearing what people are saying
• You have a ringing in your ears
• You have balance difficulties or dizziness
• You need communication training.

What services do they provide?

They will check your hearing. They will check if you can hear sounds of different loudness and pitch. You may need to wear headphones during the testing as they will check what sounds you can, and cannot hear.

They may suggest hearing aids, or other assistive devices so you can hear better.

They can provide you (and family members) with counselling about having difficulties hearing, and they can also give you advice to help with your communication.
