Our mission in the Audiology Department at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center is to deliver quality hearing-related health care to infants, children, and adults with all degrees of hearing loss. One way to accomplish this is through a universal newborn hearing screening program that is overseen by the Audiology Department. All Audiologists are certified by The American Speech-Hearing-Language Association and licensed by the state of New Jersey. Two of our Audiologists have Doctor of Audiology degrees. All on staff are trained in pediatric assessments. The staff also includes licensed hearing aid dispensers.
