For neurological hearing conditions, you may want to consult the following specialists:

1. **Neurologist**: A neurologist specializes in disorders of the nervous system, including conditions that affect hearing and balance.

2. **Neurotologist**: This is an ear specialist with additional training in neurology. They focus on the ear and related structures, particularly in cases where hearing loss is linked to neurological issues.

3. **Audiologist**: While you mentioned that hearing aids may not help, audiologists can still provide valuable assessments and rehabilitation strategies for auditory processing disorders.

4. **Speech-Language Pathologist**: They can assist with communication strategies and therapies if your hearing condition affects speech and language processing.

5. **Psychologist or Neuropsychologist**: If your condition impacts cognitive functions related to hearing, a psychologist can help with coping strategies and cognitive rehabilitation.

6. **Otolaryngologist (ENT)**: An ENT specialist can evaluate and treat ear-related issues, including those that may have a neurological component.

7. **Vestibular Specialist**: If your condition affects balance, a specialist in vestibular disorders can provide assessment and treatment options.

Consulting with your primary care physician can also help guide you to the appropriate specialists based on your specific condition.
