No, I had a master's and a PhD, both in Audiology. I also chose to return for a AuD because the PhD was more research based. Many people have PhD/AuD in Audiology.

I was not a student. I was a licensed audiologist and did not require a separate license to sell hearing aids due to the state I lived in. Of course, I wasn't under the supervision of an ENT because no Audiologist is required to be supervised by an ENT at any time of their career.

I was, however, young and female and this was my first job. The ENTs screwed me over in regards to pay. However the ENT who initially hired me was fired by his partners due to several lawsuits of sexual harassment being placed against him.
