A Doctor of Audiology, also called an audiologist, is a professional who diagnoses and treats hearing and balance problems. An audiologist has received an Au.D. (Doctorate in Audiology), or a Master's or Doctoral degree from an accredited university graduate program in audiology.
Audiologists are trained to diagnose, manage and treat hearing or balance problems for individuals from birth through adulthood.
If you or a family member suspect that you have a hearing problem or a balance problem, contact an audiologist. After carefully reviewing your health history and evaluating your hearing, an audiologist will determine whether your condition might be medically treatable and will refer you to an appropriate professional. If your condition is not medically treatable, he or she will review any recommendations for audiologic care or treatment which may include hearing aids, aural rehabilitation or balance therapy.
I Can Hear
I have a friend who gave me some information …
She said “Judy, your Woody has a hearing situation” …
And I said “ I know, I hear you loud and clear” …
But for me to continue to tell him would be futile, I fear.
There were many days of complete confusion but we finally
Came to the inevitable conclusion
So off we went to you know where, time spent waiting
Caused much despair …
Finally we were summons to come on inside, followed by a
Tutorial of auditory jibberish that made me want to cry
We had to pause to think all of this through which in the end is
What brought us to you
And with much trepidation and push from our friends, we
Arrived at your doorstep, Dr. Theresa Rogers to begin again …
We were welcomed by you with open arms and your manner and
Patience were the epitome of calm
Woody’s brief history of planes, noise and jets, led you to say
“Do not worry and don’t give up just yet”
With your years of experience and much dedication you created
A hearing device beyond our expectation … and most of all the
Amazing thing is, you have brought my husband back to me and my
Family again!!
