Description:
The Department of Audiology is a hospital-based service that provides auditory and vestibular testing. It provides support to the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery and receives referrals from other Temple units and the community at large. Services include behavioral audiometry for all ages, auditory brainstem response testing, electronystagmography, otoacoustic emissions testing and cochlear implantation evaluation and rehabilitation. Evaluation and fitting of hearing aids is also provided. Audiology services for children are provided at our clinic on the 6th floor of Temple Children's Medical Center. For adults, audiology services are provided on the 3rd floor of the Kresge West Building in the Temple University Health Sciences Center. We also provide audiological services for inpatients in the Temple University Hospitals. As part of the "Temple University infant and young child hearing intervention initiative," the Department of Audiology screens the hearing of all newborns at both Temple University Hospital and Northeastern Hospital.
