Audiologists specialize in prevention, identification, assessment and rehabilitation
of hearing disorders. They prescribe and sometimes dispense hearing aids,
and instruct hearing impaired individuals in the use of the aid to gain
the most help in day-to-day living. Audiologists also are involved in programs
of hearing conservation, particularly in industry. They serve as consultants
to government in such areas as noise abatement. Audiologists conduct research
into environmental influences on hearing, new testing methods, and new
devices.
