An audiologist is an expert in hearing, balance and related disorders, specialising in the evaluation, treatment and prevention of hearing impairment.

An audiologist uses tests to determine hearing function and to diagnose any hearing problems.

An audiologist can help your child with speech and communication problems and hearing rehabilitation. If necessary, an audiologist can also help fit your child with a hearing aid. For more intensive intervention, such as surgery, an audiologist can refer you to a specialist.

The minimum qualification required to practise as an audiologist in Australia is a Master of Audiology.
