Hearing Loss
Providers who evaluate and treat hearing loss: see credentials, insurance, and contact details before you ever call.
Understanding hearing loss
Hearing loss has many causes: long-term exposure to loud noise, aging, heredity, ear infections, trauma, and certain medications. It comes in two broad types: sensorineural (damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, usually permanent) and conductive (sound blocked from reaching the inner ear, often treatable or reversible).
For service members and veterans, years of noise from weapons, aircraft, and machinery make hearing changes and persistent ringing common concerns, and untreated hearing problems tend to get worse. The good news is direct: if you have trouble hearing, you can get help.
Finding the right provider
Audiologists evaluate hearing and manage the non-medical side: hearing aids, tinnitus management, and hearing protection. ENT physicians treat the medical and surgical causes. A hearing evaluation sorts out which lane you're in, and the two specialties refer to each other routinely. Veterans with service-related hearing concerns can often be seen through the veterans health system; the guide below covers eligibility and enrollment. ProviderQuoHealth shows credentials, accepted insurance, and accepting-new-patients status on every profile.
Seek care promptly for sudden hearing changes. If hearing loss comes with stroke signs such as face drooping, weakness, or trouble speaking, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Don't search a directory.

Frequently asked
Audiologist or ENT: where do I start for hearing loss?
Either works; audiologists test hearing and manage hearing aids and tinnitus, while ENTs treat medical causes, and they refer to each other routinely. A hearing evaluation is the practical first step. Both provider types appear in this directory.
Is hearing loss reversible?
It depends on the type: conductive causes (sound being blocked) are often treatable, while sensorineural loss is usually permanent but very manageable with hearing aids and other supports. A clinician determines the type with an evaluation.
When are hearing changes urgent?
Sudden hearing changes deserve prompt evaluation, and hearing loss alongside stroke signs, face drooping, weakness, trouble speaking, means 911 or the nearest emergency department. Don't search a directory.
