Ayça Nilay Doğan is an audiologist at Acibadem Eskisehir Hospital in Eskişehir, where she works within the Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) unit. Her work centers on hearing assessment and the evaluation of hearing loss in adults and children, with a particular focus on audiometry and pediatric hearing loss. She has more than five years of experience in the field.

Clinical focus

Ayça Nilay Doğan’s areas of expertise are audiometry, hearing loss and pediatric hearing loss. Audiometry is the measurement of hearing, and it forms the basis for describing whether a hearing loss is present, how pronounced it is and which parts of the hearing range are affected. These findings are used by the ENT team when discussing the possible causes of a hearing problem and the options that may be appropriate for an individual patient.

In children, hearing assessment requires an approach that is adapted to the child’s age and ability to cooperate, and results are usually interpreted alongside the family’s observations and the wider clinical picture. Ayça Nilay Doğan supports the evaluation of hearing loss in both adults and children through audiometric assessment, working within the ENT unit. Patients who wish to read about hearing-related treatments offered on this site can find general information on the cochlear implant page; whether any particular treatment is suitable can only be determined after a full clinical evaluation by the treating team.

How Ayça Nilay Doğan works with international patients

Ayça Nilay Doğan speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the hospital’s international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as earlier hearing test results, MRI or CT reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit itself. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing test results, imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options. Video consultation is available for international patients who would like an initial conversation about their hearing concerns before deciding whether to travel; such a consultation is an opportunity to discuss the situation and the documents already available, and in-person audiometric testing remains necessary for a complete hearing assessment.
