Audiology Services
Many patients with ear problems or dizziness have some degree of hearing loss, which can be frustrating for the patient and the family members involved.
At Hattiesburg Clinic, we staff audiologistscertified by the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association. These audiologists are able to test and treat patients who suffer from audiological-related issues and are qualified to conduct hearing aid evaluations, fittings and orientations.
Our physicians may recommend a hearing aid after audiological testing and an examination. If this is the case, it is our mission to make sure the transition to such is as smooth as possible.
