Hello.

There are an estimated 10,000 to 11,000 otolaryngologists in the U.S.

The American Academy of Otolaryngology has approximately 10,000 members.
See: AAO: About the Academy
http://www.entnet.org/about/index.cfm

"There are only 11,000 otolaryngologists in the entire country, and
only 300 are pediatric subspecialists."

"With approximately 12,000 audiologists in the country, every
audiologist potentially could have 800 more patients to work with."

search strategy:
"otolaryngologists in the" country
American Academy Otolaryngology
"audiologists in the united states"
"audiologist in the country"

I hope this helps.
