What Services Do Audiologists Provide for Cancer Patients?
Audiologists offer several key services to cancer patients, including:
Baseline Hearing Assessment: Before starting cancer treatment, an audiologist conducts a comprehensive hearing assessment to establish a baseline. Monitoring: Regular hearing tests during and after treatment to detect any changes in hearing early. Intervention: If hearing loss is detected, audiologists can provide hearing aids, cochlear implants, or other assistive devices. Rehabilitation: Audiologists offer auditory rehabilitation to help patients adapt to hearing loss and improve communication skills.
