WHAT IS AUDIOLOGY?
Audiology is the study of the principles of human hearing including the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss. An audiologist is a certified hearing-care professional qualified to assess hearing function, the balance system, hearing loss and to provide auditory rehabilitation. Audiologists must obtain a Masters degree and pass a national examination.

THE AUDIOLOGY PROGRAM AT ADVANCED HEARING SOLUTIONS
Diagnostic procedures performed at Advanced Hearing Solutions

Diagnostic Hearing Evaluation: This evaluation assesses the patient's hearing using traditional pure tone and speech testing. Results from the examination determine the type, degree and the configuration of hearing loss (if present) for each ear.

Immittance Measures: This test is used to assess middle-ear function and measures sound admittance into the middle ear. It is used to screen for rupture of eardrum, ear infections, Eustachian tube dysfunction and other middle ear disorders.

Earmold impressions: Ear impressions are taken to order custom ear devices such as hearing aids and ear plugs for hearing protection from noise.

Hearing aid fitting: Hearing aids are selected utilizing extensive information collected through patient history, hearing evaluation, ear examination, budget consideration, life style requirements and individual preferences and abilities.

Hearing aid verification procedure: This test is performed via Verifit (Real ear measures)to determine if the hearing instrument is providing the recommended amount of amplification required for a successful fitting in real time as well as working according to manufacturers specifications.
