What is an "audiologist"?

An audiologist is someone who's trained at doing hearing exams. They differ from otolaryngologists in that they study the principles of physics of hearing. Audiologists do an audiometric exam which kind of measures the level that you hear and the level of hearing loss. They are equivalent to an optometrist in the eye field.
