An audiologist is a health-care professional specializing in identifying, diagnosing, treating and monitoring disorders of the auditory and vestibule system portions of the ear. Audiologists are trained to diagnose, manage and treat hearing, tinnitus, or balance problems.

EDUCATION: An audiologist with a master’s degree can currently practice in the field. However, beginning in 2012, audiologists must earn a doctoral degree (PHD or AUD) in order to be eligible for national certification.
