What is Audiology?
Audiology is the medical field dedicated to diagnosing and managing hearing and balance disorders. Audiologists are trained professionals who evaluate hearing ability, identify hearing loss, and recommend appropriate treatment such as hearing aids or therapy.
Hearing problems may occur due to aging, ear infections, excessive noise exposure, congenital conditions, or certain medical disorders affecting the ear.

- Difficulty hearing conversations clearly

- Increasing television or phone volume
- Ringing or buzzing sound in the ears (tinnitus)
