Frequently Asked Questions About Audiologists In Perth
Do I need a referral to see an audiologist in Perth?
You will not typically need a referral to see an audiologist in Perth. Most audiologists accept clients without a referral, allowing you to directly make appointments to assess your hearing health.
If you’re seeking specific treatments or reimbursements through Medicare or private health insurance, a referral from a GP or specialist might be necessary.
Where required, check with your insurance provider for any specific requirements they might have.
Should I buy a hearing aid online or from an audiologist?
We recommend getting your hearing aids from a licensed audiologist.
Audiologists are trained professionals who specialise in hearing and balance disorders. Our team conducts thorough hearing assessments, provides accurate diagnoses, and tailor hearing aid solutions to meet your individual needs.
Our trained audiologist will ensure that the hearing aid fits properly and is adjusted to optimise hearing function in various environments. You’ll also receive follow-up care, which includes maintenance and future adjustments of the hearing aid as needed.
This comprehensive approach is not available when purchasing hearing aids online and ensures the most effective and satisfying outcome for those experiencing hearing loss.
Can an audiologist detect ear problems?
Audiologists are healthcare professionals specialised in identifying, diagnosing, and treating disorders related to hearing and balance.
This includes a wide range of ear problems, such as hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and issues related to the ear canal, eardrum, and middle ear.
At Hearing and Audiology, we use various tests and tools to assess the health of your ears and can provide management strategies or refer you to an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) if more specialised treatment is needed.
What is the difference between an audiologist and a hearing specialist?
The difference between an audiologist and a hearing specialist (often referred to as a hearing instrument specialist or hearing aid specialist) primarily lies in their level of training and the scope of their practice.
Audiologists hold a master’s degree in Clinical Audiology involving postgraduate education.
Audiologists can perform detailed hearing tests, prescribe and fit hearing aids, and provide rehabilitation services for patients with hearing impairments. They are also qualified to manage conditions like tinnitus and auditory processing disorders.
Hearing specialists, on the other hand, typically have a two-year associate degree or a certification and specialise in performing hearing tests primarily for fitting and dispensing hearing aids.
They focus on the sale and maintenance of hearing aids and may provide basic hearing tests and follow-up support for hearing aid users. They do not diagnose conditions or provide the extensive range of audiological healthcare services that audiologists do.
Both professionals play important roles in hearing health, but audiologists have broader and more in-depth medical training for comprehensive hearing care.
What conditions can audiologists treat?
Audiologists treat a wide range of hearing and balance-related conditions, including:
- Hearing Loss: Diagnosing, managing, and treating hearing loss in individuals of all ages. This includes sensorineural, conductive, and mixed hearing loss.
- Tinnitus: Managing the ringing, buzzing, or other noises in the ears that others cannot hear. Audiologists offer various management strategies and therapies.
- Balance Disorders: Evaluating and treating disorders that affect balance, such as vertigo and Meniere’s disease, using vestibular rehabilitation and other treatments.
- Auditory Processing Disorders: Helping individuals, often children, who have difficulty processing what they hear, even though their hearing sensitivity is normal.
- Earwax Buildup: Removing excessive earwax that can lead to discomfort, tinnitus, or hearing loss.
- Noise-Induced Hearing Loss: Providing preventive education, hearing protection, and treatment for hearing loss caused by exposure to loud noises.
- Sudden Deafness and Acute Hearing Issues: Addressing rapid onset of hearing loss and directing appropriate medical interventions.
