What is a Hearing Instrument Specialist?
A Hearing Instrument Specialist (HIS) is a licensed hearing care professional trained to evaluate hearing loss and fit patients with hearing aids. To earn their license, specialists must complete state-required education, hands-on clinical training, and pass a board exam — ensuring they have the expertise to help you hear your best. While they focus specifically on hearing instrument technology and fitting, many patients find that a dedicated HIS offers highly personalized, attentive care that’s hard to beat.
Why Choose a Hearing Instrument Specialist?
Choosing a licensed Hearing Instrument Specialist means working with someone who has dedicated their career to one thing: helping people hear better. A licensed HIS stays current with the latest hearing aid technology, follows strict professional standards, and takes the time to understand your unique hearing needs — not just your audiogram. Whether you’re exploring hearing aids for the first time or looking for better-fitted technology, a licensed specialist brings the focused expertise and one-on-one attention that leads to real results.

“Kate has been amazing. She is knowledgable, supportive, kind and patient as she helps me to understand the workings of hearing aids. All of us with hearing loss have different needs based on the type of hearing problems we bring to her. She has guided me through each need as it has arisen during this process. Thank you, Kate“
