@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.

I'm not sure what the difference is either. I think in my area there are mostly just audiologists and then a surgeon who does cochlear implants. Neither seems to think I have anything special going on with my hearing - just a severe case of sensoneuro (is that a word?) hearing loss.
