An audiologist is a licensed healthcare worker who specializes in treating hearing loss and other disorders that affect the ears. They can diagnose disease and conditions that affect the ears and cause balance problems, hearing problems, speech problems, and other issues. They can recommend treatment options that can restore hearing and help their patients live normal lives.

Emergency medicine is a subspecialty that focuses on patients who need immediate and often intensive care. These physicians must be able to handle medical problems quickly to avoid potential complications with their patients. With their knowledge of emergency medicine comes knowledge about many other types of medicine, as they must be able to respond to patients who present a variety of symptoms and problems. They will also have a thorough understanding of emergency medical devices.
