Audiology Training Programs

Audiologists are doctors who specialize in hearing, balance and other ear problems. Every state requires that audiologists be licensed by the health board in the state they practice. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition, "a master's degree in audiology (hearing) is the standard level of education required; however, a doctoral degree is becoming more common for new entrants."
