The Audiology team at Catalina ENT provides state-of-the-art hearing and balance evaluations for patients of all ages.
Audiologists help people who have hearing, balance, and ear related problems. These problems may be a result of trauma at birth, viral infections, genetic disorders, exposure to loud noise, certain medications, or aging. Using various types of testing equipment, audiologists measure patients' ability to hear and distinguish between sounds. In addition, they use computerized equipment to evaluate and diagnose balance disorders. Audiologists analyze these test data along with educational, psychological, and other medical patient data to make a diagnosis and determine a course of treatment.
More than half of practicing audiologists work in health care facilities. Another significant portion provides services to schools. Some have private practices and others work in colleges and universities, clinics, hospitals, special speech and hearing centers, government agencies, and private industry. Some audiologists are involved in cutting edge research.
