Provide a Professional & Honest Approach to Hearing Care
A doctorate degree in audiology from an accredited university is required to become a licensed audiologist.
Audiologists must be certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) or the American Board of Audiology (ABA).
All states require licensure to practice audiology. Requirements include passing a national examination and completing a supervised clinical fellowship.
I Didn’t Mean to Become an Audiologist, But…
Ericka DeVore, Au.D
Owner
If you had asked me two decades ago what I’d be doing today, I probably wouldn’t have said audiology. In fact, I didn’t set out on a clear-cut path toward hearing health at all. I was at a crossroads in life—one that many people face—where I was searching for more than just a job. I was looking for work with meaning. I wanted something that would challenge my mind, use my strengths, and make a real impact in people’s lives.
I’ve always had a love for details and problem-solving. Whether it was tinkering with my keyboard and music recording audio gear or solving complex puzzles just for the fun of it, I was drawn to systems and precision. So when I discovered audiology—a field that blends science, technology, and the very human need to communicate—it was as if I had stumbled upon the perfect fit.
Being an audiologist means helping people hear better, yes—but it’s also about deeply understanding how sound works, how the brain interprets it, and how even the smallest adjustment can transform someone’s world. And that transformation never gets old. For nearly 20 years, I’ve been privileged to see what a difference this work can make. Helping someone hear a loved one’s voice clearly for the first time in years? That never stops being rewarding..

No, a hearing aid specialist is not the same as an audiologist. Audiologists hold a doctoral degree in audiology and are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of hearing disorders. Hearing aid specialists, on the other hand, have specialized training in fitting and dispensing hearing aids but do not have a university level education. For comprehensive hearing care, an audiologist is the recommended choice.
An audiologist can perform a comprehensive hearing evaluation to determine the cause and extent of your hearing loss, ensuring you receive the appropriate treatment and the most suitable hearing aid for your needs. This professional assessment is crucial for identifying any underlying medical conditions that may require medical intervention.
