AUDIOLOGIST/RIE ROSSOUW/CENTURION GAUTENG

 

An audiologist is a professional person with a minimum of 4 to 5 years University education, who evaluates and manages hearing and balance disorders.

 

 

Audiologists provide the following service:

 

• Diagnostic hearing testing for babies, children and adults

 

• Screening hearing tests at Nursery Schools and Gr. R in Primary Schools

 

• Corporate hearing tests

 

• Referral to an Ear, nose and throat specialist or a Medical practitioner if the hearing problem requires medical attention

 

• Supply, fit and offer training in the use of hearing instruments when medication or surgery is not indicated

 

• Hearing aid adaptation therapy and/or assistance with adjustments and repairs for optimal hearing aid use

 

• Evaluation and management of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hyperacusis (a health condition characterised by over-sensitivity to certain sounds)

 

 

Our philosophy with regard to hearing aid fittings:

 

• Provide each patient with a full diagnostic audiological examination to exclude any pathology that requires further medical attention

 

• Assess the person’s lifestyle and individual needs and advise accordingly on the best suitable hearing aid. The most expensive is not necessarily the best for every individual

 

• Provide a comprehensive fitting and follow-up appointment schedule

 

 

All our Audiologists attend regular training seminars keeping them up to date with the latest in hearing aid developments.
