It’s time to add hearing wellness to your life, but how do you choose an audiologist? Perhaps you have an audiologist down the street, or you may very well live in a town where there are no audiologists at all as over 50% of the counties in the United States lack a licensed audiologist. Seeing the “right” audiologist for your needs and personality is as important as with any other doctoring profession.
Many individuals do not know that audiologists have specialties, just like other areas of healthcare. From pediatric to hearing conservation, hearing aids to tinnitus, audiologists are quite varied in their expertise. It’s important that as you seek out an audiologist, you consider what your hearing concerns might be (for example, preventing hearing loss, managing tinnitus, finding the appropriate hearing aids, etc.) and try to find a provider who is specialized for your particular needs.
Moreover, it is essential to find an audiologist who connects with your personality. Finding the best provider for you is like finding a perfect pair of shoes–the “best fit” makes you feel comfortable, supported, and like you can go the distance.
Teleaudiology allows you to access a variety of audiologists to find your “best fit.” By providing profiles of audiologists along with video introductions, Tuned supports you in finding the best provider for your unique hearing needs.
