If you think your hearing is becoming impaired, you should see your primary care physician. He'll examine your ears. If they feel you need to be referred to a specialist, you'll see an otolaryngologist, who will also perform an exam and send you for a hearing screen, to find out if you truly have hearing loss or you need a hearing aid to improve your hearing.
