WHAT IS AN AUDIOLOGIST?
An Audiologist is a healthcare provider who specialise in the prevention, identification, assessment, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the central or peripheral and vestibular system. They are involved in the provision of audiological rehabilitation to both children and adults.
WHAT IS A HEARING AID?
A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your ear. It makes sounds louder to improve hearing of the sounds a person is unable to hear so that a person with hearing loss can listen, communicate, and participate in daily activities.
