Audiology & Hearing Sciences is a multidisciplinary field dedicated to the study, diagnosis, and management of hearing and balance disorders. It encompasses auditory perception, hearing loss, tinnitus, auditory processing disorders, and vestibular dysfunctions. Audiologists utilize diagnostic tools such as audiometry, tympanometry, otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), and auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing to assess hearing function across all age groups. The field also involves the fitting and programming of hearing aids, cochlear implants, and assistive listening devices to enhance communication and quality of life. Research in hearing sciences explores the genetics of hearing loss, auditory neuroscience, noise-induced damage, and regenerative strategies for inner ear repair. Audiology plays a vital role in early intervention, educational support, and auditory rehabilitation, contributing significantly to overall sensory health and well-being.
