Likewise, if you have tinnitus that has not gone away for years and makes life difficult, chronic dizziness whose cause cannot be found, or if you want to be sure of your newborn baby\u2019s hearing development, the clinical evaluation, testing, and rehabilitation of these processes are entirely within the audiologist\u2019s field of expertise.
