You mean, a primary care provider? Or an ENT?
My ENT diagnosed in about 15 minutes what my primary could not in months. I’ve got bad GERD.
Your primary care can give you a good referral if you’ve never seen anyone.
Possibly an ENT to rule out anything the ENT would need to deal with, then ENT could recommend an audiologist.
FWIW, that’s the route my hubby went with great success.
Hearing loss runs in his family, so his is related to that.
He loves his hearing aids.
They’re a huge improvement from what his older family members had. Much better performance and far more comfortable.
