Audiology consultation requires structured history-taking, audiometric interpretation and patient-centred communication, yet real-world case material is scarce. We present a bilingual AI audiologist pairing a general-purpose large language model with rubric-guided closed-loop engineering, multimodal audiogram interpretation and retrieval-augmented grounding, without fine-tuning the language-model backbone. Using a 21-item rubric and an AI patient simulator, we distilled experience-derived guidance into a 19-rule playbook from 73 training cases (43 English, 30 Chinese) and evaluated the system on 58 independent simulated cases (30 Chinese, 28 English) in a pre-specified, source-blinded comparison with 17 practising audiologists. The AI audiologist outperformed human audiologists on every case (58/58; mean paired $Δ$ = +1.35 on a 5-point composite, Cohen's d = 1.84, $P = 4.5 \times 10^{-20}$), on 20 of 21 rubric items and in both languages. Component ablation identified the playbook as the largest contributor, offering a practical route to specialist consultation agents in low-data medical domains.
