But I did not exactly answer your question. Yes this person evidently has a PhD and teaches about hearing or a lack of it. But when I asked the telephone scheduler about credentials for this “ Dr” the scheduler told me the familiar “just go online about Mayo and look it up.” Well, thinking it was a medical doctor, I could not find this person and figured she must be new. I called the telephone scheduler back and she said “Oh you must have spelled the name wrong as it ends in z and not s”. So, I felt I was being shuffled off to some new person which is true, and I cancelled. Have any suggestions?

Coppermoon, as @julieo4 states, audiologists typically have a PhD. All new audiologists are required to have a doctor of audiology (AuD) degree. They are not required to have a medical degree (MD). Read more here about the differences between an audiologist, ENT specialists and hearing instrument specialist.

Mayo Clinic hearing specialists work as a team. Audiology specialists are experienced with hearing and balance problems, from the common to the serious and complex. Audiologists partner with ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists, as well as with doctors in family medicine, preventive medicine, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, occupational medicine, pediatrics and other specialties. A surgeon who specializes in disorders of the ears, nose and throat (otolaryngologist) performs the surgery. With this team-based approach, audiologists and allied health staff trained in caring for people with hearing loss and balance problems work together to provide exactly the care needed.

Mayo Clinic audiologists are listed in the directory. Can I help you find out their biography?
