The difference is education not only about hearing aids, but also in all aspects of hearing and hearing loss. An audiologist has a least a Masters Degree, which is 6 years of college. Our audiologists are certified by ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association). A hearing aid salesperson is trained to “sell” hearing aids. They can receive their hearing aid sales license in approximately 6 months or even less.
