Hearing Specialists in New York
Hearing specialists, commonly known as hearing aid specialists, have expertise in carrying out hearing examinations for fitting hearing aids. They can only see adult patients who have had hearing loss; unlike an audiologist, they do not diagnose hearing loss or prescribe medication but can only perform tests for the sole objective of providing hearing aids. Some of their duties include:
- Gathering information about a patient’s medical history.
- Administering otoscopy for identifying any ear disorders or conditions.
- Conducting wax management while examining ears for fitting hearing instruments.
- Interpreting hearing test results for patients.
- Choosing and fitting an appropriate hearing instrument.
- Assessing the effectiveness of hearing instruments.
You can read about the differences between an audiologist and a hearing specialist on the Audiology and Hearing Aid Center website.

Hearing Aids
A hearing aid is an electronic device that you can wear in or behind your ear to assist you with hearing. It can help you hear in both loud and quiet settings, thus enabling you to participate fully in your daily life. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), only one out of five people who can benefit from using a hearing aid actually opts for it.
Hearing loss is a result of damage to the hair cells in the inner ear. A hearing aid amplifies sound vibrations that enter the ear so that the surviving hair cells can detect it. The cells then convert it into a neural signal that the brain processes. The higher the damage to the hair cells, the greater the severity of the hearing loss. This implies that amplification needs to be more significant to make up for the loss of hair cells. You can read the FAQ on hearing aids prepared by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD).
