What Does an Audiologist Do?
An audiologist is a licensed hearing healthcare professional with graduate-level training in audiology; most audiologists today earn a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree. Audiologists evaluate how well you hear, identify the type and degree of hearing loss, and recommend the right next step, whether that’s hearing aids, ongoing monitoring, or a referral to a physician when something needs medical attention.
A full evaluation goes beyond a quick screening. Our audiologist measures how you hear different pitches and volumes and how well you understand speech, so we know exactly what’s going on before recommending anything.
Ringing, buzzing, or hissing in the ears is often linked to hearing loss. We assess your tinnitus, explain what may be contributing to it, and discuss management options, including hearing aids with built-in sound therapy features.
Because we work with the world’s leading manufacturers, our audiologist and hearing specialists can match you with technology that suits your hearing, lifestyle, and budget, then fit and program it precisely.
Hearing aids work best when they’re fine-tuned over time. We adjust your devices as you adapt, and we program hearing aids of all major brands.
If your evaluation points to a medical issue, such as sudden hearing loss, ear pain, or drainage, we’ll help you get to the right physician quickly. Sudden hearing loss should always be checked promptly.
Audiologist or Hearing Aid Specialist: Who Should You See?
In Florida, both audiologists and hearing aid specialists are state-licensed to test hearing and fit hearing aids. The difference is the depth of training. At Renowned Hearing Centers you don’t have to choose: you have access to both under one roof.
You don’t need a referral to book an appointment with us. If you plan to use insurance, some plans have their own rules, and our team will help you check your coverage and handle the paperwork.
An audiologist holds a graduate degree in audiology, usually a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.), and can perform more in-depth diagnostic testing. A hearing aid specialist is licensed to test hearing for the purpose of fitting, selling, and servicing hearing aids. Both are licensed in Florida.
If you’re turning up the TV, asking people to repeat themselves, struggling to follow conversations in restaurants, or hearing ringing in your ears, it’s time for an evaluation. A baseline hearing test is also worthwhile in middle age, even without obvious symptoms.
We start by talking about your hearing concerns and health history, then perform your hearing evaluation. Before you leave, we walk you through your results and your options, with no pressure.
