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.
