What is an audiologist?

An audiologist is a qualified health professional who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss and balance disorders. They aim to manage, preserve and improve the hearing of their patients, treating people of all ages and backgrounds.

To become an audiologist in Australia, practitioners must complete a Masters-level degree in clinical audiology and meet the competency and membership requirements of Audiology Australia’s Accredited Audiologist program, including the completion of a one-year clinical internship.

What does an audiologist do?

Clinical audiologists provide a variety of services to their patients. Some of these services include:

  • Conducting hearing tests and screenings.
  • Diagnosing and evaluating hearing loss.
  • Fitting and adjusting hearing aids.
  • Assessing and diagnosing balance disorders.
  • Treating and assisting in the management of ear diseases and conditions, such as tinnitus.
  • Fitting hearing protection, including custom earplugs.
  • Ear wax removal.
  • Recommending appropriate assistive technology.

Audiometrist vs Audiologist: Understanding the Differences

When it comes to hearing care, you might encounter both audiometrists and audiologists. While both professionals are essential in diagnosing and treating hearing issues, their roles and qualifications differ.

  • Audiometrists primarily focus on conducting hearing tests and fitting hearing aids. They are trained to perform basic audiometric evaluations and provide initial hearing aid fittings.
  • Audiologists, on the other hand, have advanced degrees and extensive training in audiology. They can diagnose and treat a wide range of hearing and balance disorders, offer comprehensive hearing evaluations, and provide more complex hearing aid fittings and adjustments.

    Understanding the differences between these two professionals can help you make informed decisions about your hearing care needs.
