What is an audiologist?

An audiologist is a professional who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of hearing and hearing disorders. The audiologists at Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) have extensive training and skills to evaluate the hearing of infants and children of all ages. By conducting a wide variety of specialized testing they are able to determine the exact nature of even the tiniest baby's hearing problem. Audiologists present a variety of treatment options to families, as well as dispense and fit hearing aids, administer special tests of auditory processing and provide hearing rehabilitation training.

Audiologists at ACH hold masters or doctoral degrees from accredited universities with special training in the prevention, identification, assessment and non-medical treatment of hearing disorders. All audiologists at ACH hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) granted by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and a license from the Arkansas Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. By virtue of their graduate education, professional certification and licensure, audiologists are the most qualified professionals to perform hearing tests, refer patients for medical treatment and provide hearing rehabilitation services.
