Audiology
Our team of expert audiologists at Saudi German Hospital are on hand to investigate, treat and diagnose disorders related to hearing and balance. This includes treating those who are suffering from hearing loss, as well as preventing further damage.
Our audiologist will employ various testing strategies to determine if the patient can hear within the normal range. If their hearing is impaired, they can determine the extent of the damage, including which frequency is damaged; high, middle, or low. The audiologists work tirelessly to help our patients better communicate and connect with the world around them. In addition, our partnerships with internationally renowned organizations like the Mayo Clinic Care Network, ensures our team is at the global frontiers of knowledge and research.
