Default Airfoiled surfaces?

If I understand correctly, air-foiled surfaces (horizontal and vertical stab) are shaped symmetrically. What is the benefit of this and how can it be felt during flight? I am guessing that this will reduce the amount of turbulence coming off of the back of the control surface. Thanks for any input. Ed
