THE AUDIOLOGIST

The audiologist is the person who will check you hearing and make recommendation about what type of hearing aid will work best for you. I felt that their purpose was to simply sell a hearing aid and not really look at what was best for me. If you have a certified audiologist he or she will test your hearing in a sound-proof both to see how loud the control must be so that you can hear clearly. Once that is determined you will be asked to repeat words to determine exactly what you are hearing. The key here is that he audiologist will be looking for words that sound similar but have different endings. For example, the words “lamp” and “lamb” sound very close. Can you tell which one is the word that the audiologist spoke?
