The Hearing Aid Specialist/Dealer is a salesperson and operates in a typical sales environment. They are not medically trained in diseases of the ear or rehabilitative services. They are licensed by most states to provide a basic hearing test and to sell hearing aids. They are not permitted to evaluate or fit children in the state of Oklahoma. Your Audiology doctor has completed 8 years of university education & clinical fellowships to provide comprehensive diagnostic hearing healthcare. Dr. Vowell is interested in improving your communication abilities & not just selling you a hearing aid.
