What is an Audiologist?

An Audiologist is a professional who specializes in evaluating and treating people with hearing loss. Audiologists currently hold either a Masters or Doctorate degree from accredited universities, with special training in all aspects of evaluation and treatment of non-medically treated hearing loss. Currently, all graduates in the profession are required to hold the doctorate level degree as the entry-level requirement to practice audiology. The Au.D. (Doctor of Audiology) is the clinical doctorate degree and is issued exclusively by regionally accredited universities. Audiologists are also required to complete a full-time externship as well as pass a national competency examination and obtain and maintain state licensure through continuing education. Audiologists conduct a wide range of tests (not just a screening) to determine the exact degree and nature of the individual’s hearing loss. Audiologists also dispense and fit hearing aids and provide counseling to the patient and their family regarding hearing loss and hearing aids.

Audiologists are THE professionals specially trained to assess, evaluate and treat your hearing concerns!
