Great Question for aspiring future medical personnel.
Audiology is a specialist who deals with clinical ear conditions diagnosis and treatment.

Great question! Audiology is all about understanding how we hear - it dives into the anatomy and physiology that enables us to listen to the world around us. While many recognize audiologists as the folks who help with hearing aids, that's just one part of their job.
Becoming an audiologist involves earning a doctorate in audiology. This journey will immerse you in the fascinating world of sound and how humans perceive it. You'll delve into the neurological and anatomical aspects of how we process sound. Plus, you'll get to explore the physics of sound and how it impacts everyone's daily life.
We often don't realize how crucial our hearing is until we face issues with it. As we grow older, we might need some help - that's where hearing aids come in. But modern hearing aids do more than just amplify sound. They also improve the tonal quality, making sounds clearer and more natural.
And the future of audiology? It's bright! With advancements in AI and technology, the field is set to improve and evolve even further. So, if you're interested in a career that blends science, technology, and helping people, audiology could be a perfect fit!

To become an audiologist, you first need a four year undergraduate degree, such as a bachelor of science in communications sciences and disorders. Then you will attend a doctor of audiology program that is usually 3-4 years. At the end of the program, you take an audiology Praxis test and then you can apply for your audiology license in the state in which you want to work.
Audiologists can work at various sites, not just under an ENT doctor. Audiologists work at hospitals, private practices, schools, nursing homes, ENT offices or at the VA.
