• Audiologists  are professionals with a doctorate degree in audiology, the  study of hearing. They specialize in testing, evaluating and treating hearing loss, tinnitus and balance disorders, including the fitting of hearing aids.
• Hearing Instrument Specialists have a minimum of an Associate’s Degree and are licensed to test hearing and fit/dispense hearing aids.
• Otolaryngologists are medical surgeons that specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, head and neck disorders. Otolaryngologists are also known as ENT doctors.

If you have hearing loss in both ears,  you should be wearing two hearing aids. Since you use both ears to locate the source of sound, restoring your hearing in only one ear will make it difficult for you to determine where sound is coming from. Sound  could also be perceived as “flat” or “dull” with the use of only one  hearing aid. The results from your hearing test will show you if you have hearing loss in one ear or in both ears.
