What does an Audiologist do?

Answer:
Audiologists are professionals trained to diagnose

and treat individuals (from newborns to older adults) with hearing impairments. Audiologists assist people with hearing loss so that they are better able to function more efficiently in their daily life activities.

Audiologists use equipment that is specifically designed to help obtain information about an individual’s hearing impairment or hearing loss. They may recommend and dispense items such as hearing aids or other communication devices. An audiologist has the responsibility of educating and instructing clients on the use of any equipment that may be issued to a client.

Education requirements may differ depending on the state where an audiologist wishes to practice. The minimum requirement is a master’s degree; however, a few states require audiologists to complete a doctoral degree. In addition, they must be licensed and registered in each state. Most states also have continuing education requirements for audiologists.
