the measurement of hearing.
includes the following services: Identification of children with hearing loss. Determination of the range, nature, and degree of hearing loss, including referral for medical or other professional attention for the habilitation of hearing. Provision of habilitative activities, such as language habilitation, auditory training, speech reading (lip-reading,) hearing evaluation, and speech conservation. Creation and administration of programs for prevention of hearing loss. Counseling and guidance of pupils, parents, and teachers regarding hearing loss. Determination of the child's need for group and individual simplification, selecting and fitting an appropriate aid, and evaluating the effectiveness of amplification.
The science of hearing; particularly the hearing function. It is a diagnostic profession concerned with the determination of the type of hearing loss being manifested by a particular individual.
The science of hearing, including the evaluation of hearing impairments and the rehabilitation of people with hearing impairments.
the health care profession concerned with measurement of auditory system function and nonsurgical, nonmedical management of persons with auditory, vestibular, and communicative impairment.
The Discipline whose primary emphasis is acting "in partnership" with the patient to diagnose the degree of hearing loss, if any, and then to select the best amplification that will optimally fulfill the patient's needs.
The division of healthcare concerned with analyzing, treating and preventing conditions associated with the lessening or loss of hearing.
Includes not only testing to determine the nature of the loss and usable range of hearing, but also considerations for language habilitation, speech, reading, counseling and guidance of students, parents and teachers about the specific needs of a child with a hearing impairment.
testing of hearing function; usually divided into two parts: (1) tone recognition, in which the ability to hear high- and low-pitched sounds is quantified, and (2) speech discrimination, in which the ability to recognize spoken sounds is tested. Hearing loss can be quantified in high and low registers, as well as in the ability to recognize spoken words.
The identification of students who are deaf and hard of hearing, and the delivery of services provided by an audiologist.
the study of hearing and hearing disorders.
A specialty focusing on hearing disorders through identification and evaluation of hearing loss, and the rehabilitation of persons with hearing loss
This field focuses on hearing and hearing loss, offering treatment plans that can include hearing aids.
Special training, diagnosis and therapy for persons with hearing impairments. Also, a branch of science dealing with hearing.
includes identifying children with auditory impairment, determining the extent of hearing loss; referring for habilitation/rehabilitation services; providing services to prevent hearing loss; and selecting, fitting and dispensing appropriate listening and vibrotactile devices and evaluating their effectiveness.
The study of hearing disorders through identification and evaluation of hearing loss.
A field of research devoted to the study of hearing.
Related service; includes identification, determination of hearing loss, and referral for habilitation of hearing.
Special training in the diagnosis and therapy for persons with hearing impairments.
The study of normal and disordered hearing as both a scientific discipline and clinical profession.
Treatment of impaired hearing that cannot be improved by medication or surgical therapy.
the study of sounds and hearing.
and Speech Pathology The study of hearing
The study and testing of hearing, and the provision of hearing aids.
The study of hearing, which involves identification, evaluation, habilitation, and rehabilitation of hearing loss.
Audiology is the branch of science that studies hearing, balance and also related disorders. Its practitioners, who treat those with hearing loss and proactively prevent related damage are audiologists. Employing various testing strategies (e.g. hearing tests, otoacoustic emission measurements, videonystagmography, and electrophysiologic tests), audiology aims to determine whether someone can hear within the normal range, and if not, which portions of hearing (high, middle, or low frequencies) are affected and to what degree.
