How to find a local audiologist
- Ask your parent's doctor for a referral to an audiologist — especially if there's ear pain, drainage, sudden or one-sided loss, ringing, or dizziness.
- Check credentials — an audiologist (AuD) or a licensed hearing instrument specialist. National directories from the American Academy of Audiology or ASHA let you search by ZIP.
- Ask about insurance — many clinics accept Medicare Advantage hearing benefits and some private plans. See costs & insurance.
- Community & low-cost options — university audiology clinics and some nonprofits offer lower-cost testing. Your Area Agency on Aging can point you to local help.
What to ask before you buy
- What's the total price, and does it include the fitting, follow-up visits, and adjustments?
- What's the trial/return period, and is there a restocking fee?
- What's the warranty, and what do repairs cost?
- Do you take my insurance or Medicare Advantage hearing benefit?
- Can I try a rechargeable model, and is it easy for me to handle?
