Audiology and Hearing Evaluation Services

Overview

Help for hearing and balance disorders

Hearing loss is a problem that many people experience. It can happen at any age but is most common as people grow older.

Audiologists at UW Health specialize in preventing, identifying and assessing hearing problems. We work closely with ear, nose and throat doctors. They treat medical conditions that cause hearing loss. We focus on nonmedical treatments of hearing disorders. We also evaluate and treat people with balance disorders.
