In an addition audiologists use computer equipment to evaluate and diagnose balance disorders. Audiologists interpret these results and may coordinate them with medical, educational, and psychological information to make a diagnosis and determine a course of treatment.

and many could not even tell you what an audiologist does.
But if you have ever experienced hearing loss or dizziness, then you
should consider a visit to Saline Audiology.
Audiologists work with people who have hearing, balance, and related
ear problems. They examine individuals of all ages and identify those
with the symptoms of hearing loss and other auditory, balance, and
related sensory and neural problems. They then access the nature and
extent of the problems and help the individuals manage them.

A bilateral hearing loss means both ears have a loss of hearing. In contrast, unilateral hearing loss indicates that only one ear of a person is affected. Bilateral hearing loss may occur prior to or any time after birth. It may occur gradually or suddenly and may impact one ear more than the other ear.
