What is an Audiologist?
An Audiologist specializes in the study of
hearing and balance disorders. This includes the entire hearing mechanism from the
outer ear, middle ear bones, cochlea to central auditory processing problems.
An
Audiologist holds at least a masters degree from a nationally accredited university.
ADC audiologists are licensed to practice in Texas and hold a Certificate of Clinical
Competency in Audiology or are a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology.
People are referred to an audiologist for diagnostic testing of the auditory
system (hearing), the vestibular system ( balance mechanism), and/or rehabilitation of a hearing loss. The reason for these
visits may include difficulty hearing, ear pain, ear infection, ringing in the ears, balance problems,
speech delays or
screening hearing of newborns at risk for hearing loss.

Your First Audiology Visit
New patients receive an audiological evaluation to determine
the status of their middle ear system and to diagnose any potential hearing loss. If
there is a hearing loss, another test will determine what part of the hearing mechanism is
responsible for the loss. Unless other arrangements have been made, payment for
services is requested at time of visit. Many audiology services are covered by
insurance. There is no paperwork to fill out prior to your visit.
