Common Questions
Can you self-refer to an audiologist?
You can self-refer to an audiologist if you are ready to pay for audiology treatments out of pocket. If you self-refer, there is no need to contact a doctor. Often, you must first obtain a doctor’s referral before you may use your insurance for testing and other related fees.
Do you need a doctor's referral for a hearing test?
How do you select the best hearing aid?
We suggest you start by selecting a hearing healthcare expert you trust to guide you through the process. Our Doctors of Audiology use evidence-based practice with standard hearing tests, plus specialized testing for hearing in noise and cognitive testing to help make the best recommendation for your needs. Hearing aids are available in different sizes, models, levels of technology and designs. When choosing a hearing aid, the first thing you need to consider is the type and degree of hearing loss you have.
How do you get rid of tinnitus sounds?
Is a hearing aid specialist or hearing aid dispenser the same as an audiologist?
It can be easy to become confused about which type of expert you are visiting. There are, however, some significant variations between the education level and what these three professions can achieve for you. A hearing aid expert can test your hearing and equip you with a hearing aid. A hearing aid dispenser does training to work with hearing equipment and state depending, will get hours working under a qualified Audiologist in order to apply for their license. An audiologist, on the other hand, must get both an undergraduate and doctoral degree in audiology. They have an extensive supervised externship before the professional may test for their national certification and state licensing. Audiologists are more specialized. Therefore, they can evaluate and diagnose a broader spectrum of hearing, tinnitus, and balance issues.
