The audiology program provides a full range of re/habilitative audiologic services including behavioral hearing evaluations, hearing aid evaluation, fitting, and troubleshooting services, cochlear implant programming, troubleshooting and management, bone conduction hearing aid evaluation, fitting and troubleshooting, DM/HAT management, parent counseling and educational outreach. Audiologists work closely with families and Teachers of the Deaf in the parent-infant and school programs to address the speech, language, and hearing needs of the children served. Opportunities for regular interprofessional collaboration include on-site SLP, OT, behavioral specialist, and family support specialist.
The extern willparticipate in all aspects of the audiology clinic, including participation in CID's new, state-of-the-art 3D Print Lab. 3D print technology has enabled on-site manufacturing of custom earmolds, allowing for faster fitting after diagnosis and improved earmold retention/device fitting.
