Spotlight practices rotate daily among the most complete profiles — nobody pays for a spotlight. Featured practices pay for their placement; it is always labeled “Featured” and shown here, separately from the directory listings and nearby practices. Neither is a recommendation or a ranking, and neither changes directory order or the facts on any profile. Nearby practices are shown by their relative location, and directory lists put the most complete profiles first — see our standards.

Yes. Every profile is sourced from the federal NPI registry maintained by CMS, and we never sell ranking. Listing order is determined by how complete a practice's verified profile is (services, providers, insurance, hours) — never by payment. Featured and sponsored placements are always clearly labelled as such and never change the directory order, a practice's verification status, or any fact on its profile.

An audiologist is a hearing and balance specialist who tests your hearing, diagnoses hearing and balance problems, and fits and programs hearing aids and other devices. They focus specifically on hearing health rather than medical or surgical ear treatment.
For a hearing concern, an audiologist is a great first step to evaluate your hearing and discuss hearing aids. See an ENT (a physician) when the cause may be medical or surgical — such as an infection, fluid, a tumor, or sudden hearing loss — since ENTs can prescribe medication and operate. The two often work together.
Have your hearing checked if you're straining to hear, turning up the volume, or asking people to repeat themselves, or if you have ringing in your ears. Experts suggest a baseline test by around age 60–65, more often if you're exposed to loud noise or notice changes. Sudden hearing loss should be evaluated promptly.
Usually not — you can typically book a hearing evaluation directly. Some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage of certain services, so check your plan if you're using insurance.
A hearing test is quick (about 30 minutes) and painless. After reviewing your history, the audiologist has you wear headphones in a quiet booth and respond to tones and words at different pitches and volumes in each ear, mapping out your hearing and where any loss occurs.
Many plans cover a diagnostic hearing test, but hearing aids themselves are often only partially covered or not covered, though that's improving. Check your specific plan — some now include a hearing-aid allowance, and a growing share of buyers get at least some help from insurance.
Original Medicare doesn't cover hearing aids or the exams to fit them, though it may cover a diagnostic hearing test ordered by a doctor. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans add hearing benefits, including help with hearing aids — check your specific plan.
Prescription hearing aids vary widely in price depending on technology and features, and many clinics bundle the devices with fitting and follow-up care. Over-the-counter options for mild-to-moderate loss cost less. Ask about pricing, what's included, and any trial period.
Yes — audiologists evaluate tinnitus, often alongside a hearing test since tinnitus frequently accompanies hearing loss, and offer management strategies like sound therapy and hearing aids with masking features. If tinnitus is sudden, one-sided, or pulsing, it should also be checked by a physician.
Common signs include trouble following conversations (especially in noise), frequently asking people to repeat themselves, turning up the TV, feeling that people mumble, and ringing in the ears. If these sound familiar, a hearing test can clarify what's going on.
A hearing test shows the type and degree of any hearing loss, and the audiologist discusses whether hearing aids would help your specific situation and lifestyle. Not everyone with mild loss needs them right away — it's a shared decision based on how much it affects your daily life.
Over-the-counter hearing aids can be a good, lower-cost option for adults with perceived mild-to-moderate hearing loss, but they're not custom-fit or professionally programmed. For more significant loss, a complex situation, or personalized fitting and support, prescription devices from an audiologist are usually the better fit.
Once you're being monitored or wear hearing aids, an annual check is common. Otherwise, get tested whenever you notice changes, and follow your audiologist's recommendation based on your age, noise exposure, and history.
Yes — audiologists test hearing in children, including newborns and infants, using age-appropriate methods, and help with hearing devices when needed. Early detection of childhood hearing loss is important for speech and language development.
An audiologist has graduate-level training to diagnose hearing and balance disorders and provide comprehensive care, while a hearing-instrument dispenser is licensed to test for the purpose of fitting and selling hearing aids. For full evaluation and complex needs, an audiologist offers a broader scope.
Hearing aids typically last several years with proper care, and they benefit from regular cleaning, battery or charging upkeep, and periodic adjustments as your hearing changes. Your audiologist provides follow-up service to keep them working their best.
