Should I see a registered hearing aid practitioners (RHAP)or ENT for hearing loss?

If you are experiencing any hearing loss or changes in your hearing, it is important to see a specialist for an assessment. Depending on the cause and severity of your hearing loss, you may want to consider seeing a registered hearing aid practitioner (RHAP) or ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor. A registered hearing aid practitioner (RHAP) is best suited to diagnose and treat non-medical hearing issues, while an ENT specialist is typically better for medical-related hearing impairments. At Melody Audiology, we always recommend that our patients seek a specialist’s opinion to ensure they get the best care possible.
