The audiologist will conduct a hearing aid
evaluation to assess the person’s ability to
hear with and without a hearing aid. This
will enable the audiologist to select and fit
a hearing aid for the person’s individual
needs. An audiologist can also provide
evaluation and rehabilitation since, for
people younger than 18, hearing loss may
cause problems in language development
and educational and social growth. An
audiologist is qualified by training and
experience to assist in the evaluation and
rehabilitation of hearing loss in people
younger than 18.
