Hello, Sal @mattie1014 This is excellent advice.

I am a retired professor of Speech, Language, and Language Sciences, certified in speech-language pathology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Honestly, this is why I'm so passionate about hearing health and hearing evaluations for hearing aids. My current audiologist is a former student of mine (he has an AuD, doctorate in audiology) who is very knowledgeable and up to date.

Here is information about audiology from the profession's website:

Best wishes,
Helen

Hello Helen
Thank you coming from you this is quite a compliment. I am going to copy the link if you dont mind and share it in my next class. I am more of an expert on the tinnitus side however my audiologist took quite an interest in me and they want me running classes for General Practioners and other medical professionals. There is a saying I wear on one of my tinnitus shirts "You dont get it until you get it". I will be shadowing my audiologist staff in two weeks learning in depth knowledge on the hearing loss side. When you go to an internist they ask in their questioner Do you have tinnitus or hearing loss? Then they file it away. We send them to us and educate them on the Best Practices and value of our Company. I was also staff for a time on the American Tinnitus Association and have been interviewed on numerous occasions as I am all for the passion of this invisible condition so many struggle with and do nothing about it. You can google me any time at Sal Gentile tinnitus. Kudos for all you so.
