Audiologists are the trained professionals who specialize in working with individuals with hearing problems. They test and evaluate your hearing. Audiologists hold Masters or Doctoral degrees from accredited universities in the identification, treatment and prevention of hearing loss for people of all ages. Audiologists also provide counseling for the families of people with hearing loss so they can be supportive and more effective in their communication strategies with their loved ones.

Audiologists work in a variety of employment settings. They are found in schools, hospitals, clinics, universities, community speech and hearing centers, large retail stores, industry and private practice. Many audiologists are involved in hearing instrument research and engage in many continuing education opportunities.
