Audiology
Why study Audiology?
Audiology is a health care discipline that deals with the assessment, prevention, treatment and management of hearing and balance disorders. Audiologists are responsible for evaluating clients and diagnosing specific auditory disorders through specialised tests, followed by the implementation of a treatment or management plan. Common techniques used to treat auditory disorders may involve the use of a hearing aid or other devices, such as cochlear implants.
Career opportunities
Employment opportunities in the field of audiology are expected to increase over the next decade. Many hearing loss related disorders are associated with aging – currently the Australian population is experiencing a growth in population aged 50 and over, mainly due to the age progression of the baby boomers generation.
