What is the difference between an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor and an audiologist?

ENT doctors and audiologists both have expertise in diagnosing ear-related conditions. However, while ENT doctors delve into more complex medical issues, audiologists specialise in diagnosing hearing loss and improving individuals' quality of life through the use of hearing aids . Moreover, ENT doctors diagnose nose and throat-related conditions aside from ear-related issues.

When should I see an audiologist?

Audiologists specialise in diagnosing issues related to hearing and balance and recommending personalised solutions to assist individuals in managing their specific conditions. You are recommended to see an audiologist if you notice any of the following: Habitually turning up the volume of the TV Complaints from family or friends about the TV being too loud Tinnitus or ringing in your ears People leaning closer to speak to you

Our audiologists can help you manage your tinnitus. Learn more about tinnitus management here or book an appointment with us today.

Do audiologists remove ear wax or do ear cleaning?

No, our audiologists do not provide ear wax removal or ear cleaning services. We recommend visiting an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor for such procedures instead.

The hearing aid has improved my quality of life, especially in my work and social life. Communication is clear and doesn’t need to be repeated. The small size, especially once it fits snugly in the ear, makes it comfortable to use all day long.

Hafiy Furqan Bin Muhamad Fitri

SS15 branch | Selangor

Alhamdulillah, after using Hearing Aid, my son Hafiy can hear well. In terms of conversation, there are a lot of improvements. Before this, Hafiy was speech delayed but after using Oticon Opn Play 2, he can hear and speak well.

Show More

He also can give a good response to our conversations. Hafiy really enjoys interacting with people as he can go through a two-way communication process. Before using Hearing Aid, only me and my husband talked to each other, but now Hafiy is able to respond and interact with our conversations. The service provided by Hearing Partners Subang is the best. Friendly staff and good customer service in serving customers whether in the outlet or online through WhatsApp. They also provide reserved parking spaces in front of the outlet, so it is easier for customers to get their services.
