When you’re ready to find an audiologist to help with your hearing health, where do you start? There are many out there to choose from, but it’s important to pick the best audiologist for you and your needs to ensure a positive and productive working relationship.
What is an audiologist?
There are many types of hearing health care professionals you can work with when you have questions or concerns about your hearing and hearing loss. One of those hearing healthcare professionals is an audiologist.
According to the Academy of Doctors of Audiology, “an audiologist is a professional who diagnoses and treats hearing and balance problems. An audiologist has received an Au.D. (Doctorate in Audiology), or a Master’s or Doctoral degree from an accredited university graduate program in audiology. Audiologists are trained to diagnose, manage and treat hearing or balance problems for individuals from birth through adulthood.”
They can be an essential part of your care team if you are trying to uncover or manage problems such as vertigo, inner ear problems or hearing loss. That’s why it is so important to pick the best audiologist for you.
