The Role of the Educational AudiologistEducational Audiologists deliver a full spectrum of hearing services to all children, particularly those in educational settings. Audiologists are trained to diagnose, manage, and treat hearing and balance problems. Educational audiologists are members of the school multidisciplinary team who facilitate listening, learning, and communication access via specialized assessments; monitor personal hearing instruments; recommend, fit, and manage hearing assistance technology; provide and recommend support services and resources; and advocate on behalf of students. Educational audiologists provide evidence for needed services and technology, emphasize access skills and supports, counsel children to promote personal responsibility and self-advocacy, maintain student performance levels, collaborate with private sector audiologists, help student transitions, and team with other school professions to work most effectively to facilitate student learning.
