Question 1

How do I find a good audiologist in Edina?

Accepted Answer

Look for a licensed audiologist (Au.D.) for a full diagnostic evaluation, or a hearing instrument specialist if you already have a diagnosis and need device fitting. Start with a free hearing screen to understand your baseline — it gives you better questions to ask when you call.

Question 2

Does insurance cover audiology appointments in MN?

Accepted Answer

Most private insurance plans and Medicare Advantage plans cover diagnostic audiological evaluations, often with a physician referral. Medicare Part B covers diagnostic testing ordered by a physician but does not cover hearing aids. Coverage for hearing aids varies widely by plan. Always call your insurer before scheduling to confirm coverage and whether a referral is required. This is general information — not insurance or medical advice.

Question 3

Do I need a referral to see an audiologist in Edina?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no — audiologists in MN can be seen directly without a physician referral. However, some insurance plans require a referral for coverage of the evaluation. It's worth calling your insurer before scheduling if cost is a concern.

Question 4

What should I bring to my first hearing appointment in Edina?

Accepted Answer

Start by taking the LSTN free hearing test — it gives you a baseline to share with your provider and helps you arrive knowing what questions to ask. Also bring: a list of current medications (some affect hearing), any prior audiograms, and a note on when you first started noticing changes and in what situations. Most appointments take 60–90 minutes.
