Audiologists need a good working knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the structures involved in hearing as well as an understanding of the diseases or disorders of the auditory system.

It will further provide you with an understanding of common auditory pathologies resulting from disease or injury, and the impact of those pathologies on a patient's hearing.
