About The Hearing Device Center - Our Philosophy & Mission

Why Choose The Hearing Device Center

Hearing aid dispensing is possible in California with one of two types of accreditation. Hearing Aid Dealers are only required to have a high school diploma and be licensed by the State of California. Audiologists have completed a college degree with a minimum of two years of training dedicated to hearing testing, hearing aid fitting, and rehabilitation of communication difficulties with hearing devices. Many audiologists have also received further training such as a Doctor of Audiology degree (an “Aud. degree”), usually consisting of an additional two years of postgraduate training. Both Audiology and Doctor of Audiology degrees require accreditation with their own unique specialized examinations and licensure requirements.
