Imagine not being able to hear
Hearing is one of the five human senses. It
is the ability to perceive sound by detecting vibrations
via the ear. In humans hearing is performed primarily
by the auditory system: vibrations are detected
by the ear and converted into nerve impulses that
are perceived by the brain as sound.
What is an Audiologist?
An Audiologist is a highly trained professional
who evaluates and treats hearing loss, auditory
processing problems and balance disorders
in children and adults.
An Audiologist
has a minimum of a four year professional
degree from a University.
All Audiologists
must be registered with the Health Professionals
Council of South Africa (HPCSA).
You can find Audiologists in many different
settings including schools, private practice,
hospitals as well as universities.
What do Audiologists do? |
Audiologists provide the following services:
- Provide diagnostic hearing testing in order
to diagnose a hearing loss.
- Diagnose different types of hearing loss,
namely:
- A conductive hearing loss results when
something in the middle-ear interferes with
the transmission of the sound to the inner
ear (such as ear infections)
- A sensorineural hearing loss affects
the inner ear and neural pathway.
- Refer to an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist
or a medical practitioner if the client requires
medical attention.
- Supply, fit and provide training in the
use of hearing instruments such as conventional
hearing aids, cochlear implants and bone-anchored
hearing aids as well as assistive listening
devices.
- Provide audiological assessment and therapy
for Central Auditory Processing Disorders.
Who can Audiologists treat?
- Children with Otitis Media (middle ear infection)
When children suffer from chronic middle ear
infection their hearing will most likely fluctuate
causing poor listening skills and delayed speech
and language development. Audiologists perform
regular hearing assessments to monitor the hearing
of these children and make referrals to ENT
specialists for treatment.
- People who suffer from Balance Problems.
An Audiologist is able to determine whether
these problems might be c aused by problems
of the inner ear.
- People who are exposed to excessive Noise.
An audiologist can monitor hearing and provide
custom made hearing protection for people who
work or participate in leisure activities in
noisy environments.
- People who experience Tinnitus (ringing
in the ears). An audiologist can offer support,
treatment options or referrals for this condition.
- People with Central Auditory Processing
Disorders. An audiologist can assist school-aged
children who exhibit listening problems in class.
What should I expect at the first
appointment?
Hearing tests differ
depending on the age of the client. The
audiologist uses special equipment in a
sound-treated room to test hearing. Some
of the tests require a response when the
sound is heard. Others can be carried out
whilst lying quietly or even sleeping.
It is never too early to have your
child’s hearing tested! |
What should I ask the Audiologist?
There are some questions you may want to
ask the Audiologist before, during and after the
evaluation:
- Is the hearing loss temporary or permanent?
- What are the possible causes of the hearing
loss?
- How will this type/degree or hearing loss
impact my child’s speech and language development
/ my daily life?
- How will my child’s education be affected?
What are my options for school placement?
- What type of amplification do you suggest
and why?
How do I find an Audiologist?

Imagine not being able to communicate
Communication is a complex aspect of human behaviour.
A child or adult with a communication disorder may
encounter many obstacles to learning, communicating

What is a Speech-Language Therapist?
A Speech-Language Therapist is a
highly trained professional who evaluates
and treats children and adults who have
difficulty communicating with others as
well as those who have difficulty sucking,
chewing or swallowing food or liquids.
A Speech-Language Therapist has
a minimum of a four year professional degree
from a University.
All Speech-Language
Therapists must be registered with the Health
Professionals Council of South Africa (HPCSA).
You can find Speech-Language Therapists
in many different settings including schools,
private practice, hospitals, rehabilitation
centres as well as universities. |
Who do Speech-Language Therapists treat?

specific speech and language disorders who would
