Audiology and speech pathology are fields of allied health sciences. While being equipped with special training, education, skills and experience, the practitioners are not called physicians but speech pathologists and audiologists who work with people with speech disorders caused by problems such as cleft palate or other medical conditions.
The job involves examining and cleaning the ear canal, fitting hearing aids, counseling on adjusting to hearing loss and training on the use of hearing instruments.
