Audiologists are health care professionals who diagnose, treat and help patients manage disorders of the auditory and balance systems. Audiologists also have the opportunity to specialize in pediatrics, geriatrics, balance cochlear implants, and hearing aids, among other issues. Their work setting can be in health care, education, and government agencies. Due to their work environments, Audiologists are typically part of an interprofessional health team to assist patients.
