Audiologist

Audiologists are healthcare professionals specialising in identifying, diagnosing, and treating hearing and balance disorders. They work with people of all ages, from newborn babies to the elderly. In the UK, audiologists are often employed by the NHS, private health providers, or educational institutions. Their duties include conducting hearing tests, fitting and maintaining hearing aids, counselling patients, and sometimes working with other specialists to support people with complex needs. Audiologists play a key role in improving communication and quality of life for individuals with hearing difficulties.
