Audiology is a field of study regarding the science of hearing, balance, and related disorders. Audiologists, as defined by The American Academy of Audiology, are the healthcare professionals who diagnose, treat, and manage audiological disorders in individuals of all ages, from infants to the elderly. Care is provided by a licensed audiologist, which could be a CAOHC technician or a doctor of audiology (AuD).
