El audiólogo hace la otoscopia.

Yes. El audiólogo means the audiologist.

In Spanish, it is very common to use the definite article (el, la, los, las) before a profession when you are talking about a specific person as the subject of the sentence.

So:

• El audiólogo = the audiologist
• Un audiólogo = an audiologist

In this sentence, el tells you we are talking about a specific audiologist, not just any one.

Spanish often forms profession words differently from English. The standard word here is audiólogo.

A few things to notice:

• audiólogo is a noun meaning a professional
• it is masculine in this form
• the feminine form is usually audióloga

So you could say:

• El audiólogo hace la otoscopia.
• La audióloga hace la otoscopia.

Even though English uses audiologist, Spanish uses audiólogo/a.

The accent mark in audiólogo shows where the stress goes.

It is pronounced with the stress on dió:

• au-di-Ó-lo-go

Without the accent mark, Spanish stress rules would suggest a different pronunciation, so the written accent is necessary.

This kind of accent mark is very common in Spanish and usually helps you know which syllable to emphasize.

Yes. Hace is the él/ella/usted form of hacer in the present tense.

Here it literally means does, but in natural English the sentence is usually understood as performs.

So:

• hacer = to do / to make
• hace = he does / she does / you do (formal)

In medical Spanish, hacer is often used for performing procedures, tests, or exams.

So hace la otoscopia is a very natural way to say performs the otoscopy.

In Spanish, nouns have grammatical gender. Otoscopia is feminine, so it takes la.

Many nouns ending in -a are feminine, and otoscopia follows that common pattern.

So:

• la otoscopia
• not el otoscopia

This does not mean the procedure itself is feminine in a real-world sense. It is just a grammatical category.

Both can be possible, but they mean slightly different things.

• la otoscopia = the otoscopy
• una otoscopia = an otoscopy

Using la can suggest:

• a specific procedure already understood from context
• the procedure as a standard, known medical exam
• a more general statement about what the audiologist does in this situation

Using una would focus more on one instance of the procedure:

• El audiólogo hace una otoscopia. = The audiologist performs an otoscopy.

So la is not wrong at all; it often sounds natural in medical or procedural contexts.

Yes, but this sentence uses the most basic and common Spanish word order:

• El audiólogo = subject
• hace = verb
• la otoscopia = direct object

So it follows the familiar pattern:

Subject + Verb + Object

That makes it a very straightforward sentence for learners.

Spanish can sometimes change word order for emphasis, but this neutral order is the default and the easiest to understand.

In Spanish, the simple present can cover several meanings depending on context.

So El audiólogo hace la otoscopia can mean:

• The audiologist performs the otoscopy
• The audiologist does the otoscopy
• The audiologist is doing the otoscopy
  if the context makes it clear it is happening now

Spanish often uses the simple present where English might choose either simple present or present progressive.

In most of Latin America, hace is pronounced approximately like:

• AH-seh

A few key points:

• the h is silent
• the a is like the a in father
• the c before e sounds like s in most of Latin America

So hace sounds like AH-seh, not like English ha-ce.

No. In Spanish, common nouns are not capitalized unless they begin a sentence.

So normally you write:

• el audiólogo
• la otoscopia

You only capitalize them if they are at the beginning of the sentence, as in:

• El audiólogo hace la otoscopia.

This is different from English, where learners sometimes over-capitalize job titles or medical terms.

Yes. Realiza is also possible and can sound a bit more formal or technical.

Compare:

• El audiólogo hace la otoscopia.
• El audiólogo realiza la otoscopia.

Both are correct. In many contexts:

• hace sounds more everyday and common
• realiza sounds a little more formal, professional, or clinical

A learner should understand both.

You would usually change both the article and the profession noun:

• La audióloga hace la otoscopia.

Changes:

• el → la
• audiólogo → audióloga

The rest of the sentence stays the same because hace la otoscopia still works exactly the same way.
