Audiology
The Audiology office within Ear, Nose and Throat continues to grow. We welcome Shalyn Ballew, Au.D, our newest Audiologist who joins Pattie Visscher, Au.D. Also on staff is Sonia Coleman, our Audiology office coordinator.
An audiologist is a healthcare professional who can help prevent, diagnose, and treat hearing and balance disorders in people of all ages. Audiologists help people improve their communication with others around them by offering those with listening difficulties increased access to auditory information via amplification options as well as communication and listening strategies. The focus for audiology within the ENT practice is diagnostic testing; both to support Dr. Cheryl Varner, the otolaryngologist, and to work with patients directly to monitor hearing status and investigate the need for amplification. Direct audiology services are new to our ENT practice.
