Equipped
with advanced audiological equipments, Dr.
Manojs Institute provides all kinds of audiological
investigations which are essential for identifying
the pathology related to
hearing disorders. Audiology
is the branch of science that studies hearing,
balance, and their disorders. Audiology
aims to determine whether someone can hear
within the normal range , and if not, which
portions of hearing (high, middle, or low
frequencies) are affected and to what degree.
If a hearing loss is present, an audiologist
determines whether what kind of hearing
loss, if any, is present and he or she proposes
to the patient what options (e.g. hearing
aids, cochlear implantation, surgery, auditory
habilitation, appropriate medical referrals
etc.) may help to restore function. Audiologists
prescribe, programme and dispense hearing
aids. Audiologists are also involved in
the prevention of hearing loss, hearing
conservations programs and other communication
disorders. Audiologists are often in charge
of Newborn Hearing Screening Programs designed
to identify hearing loss within the first
2 months of life.
