What is Your BEST Hearing Solution Option? An Audiologist!

According to the state licensing laws in every state, there is “testing for the purpose of fitting a hearing aid” and then there is “hearing science”, known as audiology. One does not have to have a degree in audiology in order to be licensed by the state to test hearing for the purposes of fitting a hearing aid. However, in order to get a license to diagnose and treat hearing conditions, one must have a degree in audiology. This is the difference between a hearing instrument specialist and an audiologist. 

For patients interested in receiving the very best hearing health care, it is in their best interests to seek out, and insist on having their hearing condition examined by a licensed audiologist. Physicians agree. Audiologists are the best trained to examine hearing and to treat hearing conditions not amenable to medical or surgical intervention. If you or a loved one is having hearing difficulties, make sure the person testing your hearing is an audiologist.
