Audiology
Audiology services at Ohio Valley Medical Center and East Ohio Regional Hospital continue to provide basic diagnostic hearing tests for the entire spectrum of the Ohio Valley population.
Other sophisticated evaluations include assessment of balance and dizziness, central auditory processing, and tests of electrophysiology measurements, such as otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), auditory brainstem response (ABR) and electrocochleography (ECochG). In addition, screening measures are provided for newborns, at-risk toddlers, preschoolers and school-age children. The audiologists provide aural rehabilitation and hearing aid technology for patients of the community and surrounding areas.
Our primary goals are to help identify those patients with hearing loss and balance dysfunction and improve their quality of life with the most appropriate audiologic diagnostic treatment strategy.
