Hearing Loss: Come introduce yourself and connect with others

Dear Colleen: I just recently connected to the hearing loss group. Today I sent a reply to Jamie Olson a Mayo moderator. My questions are about testing and when to see an audiologist and when to see an otologist. Also if Mayo has a recommended clinic in Indianapolis that has both an audiologist and an otologist. I will be looking for a response from Jamie or perhaps from you.

@engineer My audiologist and otolaryngologists reside in the same offices, an ideal arrangement I think. Whether you go to an otologist, otolaryngologist, or audiologist would depend on what your problem is. If just hearing, then an audiologist, but if you think other factors are affecting your hearing then you probably want to see an otologist ot otolaryngologist.
To my knowledge, only an audiologist tests hearing, but I could be wrong. I am not familiar with otologists, I had to google that, but they sound very similar to otolaryngologists, just more specialized.
