What Is an Audiologist?

An audiologist is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of hearing and balance disorders. These specialists hold either a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) or a master's degree in audiology from an accredited institution and are certified to evaluate hearing, recommend solutions, and support patients throughout their hearing health journey.

At LENTS, our Lafayette audiologists work closely with ENT physicians to deliver a seamless, team-based approach to care. In addition to hearing evaluations, they assist with hearing aid fittings, balance assessments, cochlear implant counseling, and patient education.

Hearing Testing & Evaluation Services

Our Lafayette audiologists perform a variety of tests to assess hearing function, including:

    • Otoscopy to check for physical obstructions
    • Pure tone and speech testing to measure hearing thresholds
    • Tympanometry to evaluate eardrum function
    • Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) to assess cochlear response
    • Auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing for newborns or patients unable to perform standard tests
    • Videonystagmography (VNG) for balance and dizziness assessment

    These tests help us determine not just if you have hearing loss, but how and why—so we can recommend the right solution.

    Why Hearing Health Matters

    Hearing is a vital part of your overall well-being. Left untreated, hearing loss can lead to social withdrawal, cognitive decline, and communication challenges in both personal and professional settings. Fortunately, early intervention—starting with a hearing evaluation—can help prevent or manage these complications.

    Studies have shown that individuals who address hearing loss early experience improved confidence, stronger relationships, and greater engagement in daily activities. At Louisiana ENT Specialists, we're here to help you take that first step toward better hearing.
