Audiología

General Information

The audiologist is the autonomous professional who identifies, evaluates and manages hearing loss and balance disorders. In addition:
· Provides audiologic habilitation for infants/children and audiologic rehabilitation for adults
· Selects, prescribes and programs amplifications systems.
· Prevents hearing loss through education to consumers, selection and fitting of hearing protectors and counseling regarding the effects of noise on the auditory system.
· Participates in research in the areas of prevention, identification and treatment of hearing loss, tinnitus and disorders of the balance system.

Audiologists are qualified to work in private practice and government agencies such as Departments of Health, Education, and Family Services. There are other employment opportunities in federal programs, private institutions and universities.

Accreditation bodies have established that effective on January 2012, the entry level into the Profession of Audiology will be a doctorate degree.

In order to keep abreast of the changes in the profession, to meet the new requirement for the certification of clinical competence (CCC-A), and maintain the continued accreditation of the academic program by the Council for Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology, the Audiology Program admitted its last class into the Master Program during the academic year 2004-2005 (August 2004) and submitted a proposal for the establishment of a Clinical Doctorate in Audiology (Au.D.). The proposal is in review by the corresponding university authorities.
