Diagnostic Hearing Evaluations - Adults
The Audiology Clinic provides diagnostic hearing evaluations for adults in order to identify various types of hearing loss and if medical referral or hearing aids are needed.
Pediatric Audiology - Newborn/Infant Hearing Screenings
Early detections of potential hearing loss is critical in children. They can be evaluated for potential hearing loss at any age. They will be tested with age-specific techniques that allow the audiologist to determine the hearing ability. The need for further audiological evaluations or referrals to other specialists can be made at the time of the initial appointment.
Audiology service works closely with the Otolaryngology clinic to rule out or diagnose impairments prior to treatments or surgical intervention.
