Audiology

The Audiology team works as a part of an interdisciplinary team. The team includes ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists, psychiatrists and social workers. They provide clinical services for people with complex hearing and balance needs. 

Their services are delivered at St. Paul’s Hospital on an outpatient basis.

Our audiologists are registered with the College of Speech and Hearing Health Professionals of BC. They are experienced in balance and dizziness assessment/management and cochlear implant management.

The Audiology team is based at St. Paul’s Hospital. They offer comprehensive hearing and balance/dizziness services. The team also offers several specialized procedures through its audio-vestibular diagnostic clinic.

Please note that we are a research and teaching hospital. We take part in research in the fields of hearing, balance, tinnitus and cochlear implants.
