A hearing specialist, also known as an audiologist, is a healthcare professional who focuses on diagnosing and treating hearing and balance disorders. They conduct various tests to assess hearing ability and determine the best course of action for individuals experiencing hearing loss or related issues. In addition to testing, hearing specialists can provide hearing aids and other assistive devices, as well as offer rehabilitation services to help patients adapt to their hearing challenges. They often work in collaboration with ENT doctors and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care for their patients.
