What is the difference between an audiologist and a hearing aid dealer (Also know as an Hearing Instrument Specialist and they may have the initials BCHIS or HIS)?
An audiologist has a doctoral degree and clinical training. They diagnose hearing loss and treat medical hearing conditions.
Hearing aid dealers focus mainly on device sales.
Schedule a hearing test appointment with Dr. Smith, Au.D. if you are having issues with your hearing.
