No. You do not need a doctor's referral to have your hearing tested. Although, it is a good idea to have your doctor look in your ears and make sure they are clean of any debris prior to your test.
Anyone can be tested at any age.
However, ages 0-17 must have an appointment with a hearing instrument practitioner who has the clasification of an audiologist, while anyone 18 and older can be seen by any hearing instrument practitioner.
We are a volunteer organization. We appreciate your patience as we get to your inquiry.
