Audiologists work to preserve and improve the hearing of others. An audiologist focusses on conditions of the inner and middle ear. Audiologists conduct specialised tests to diagnose auditory disorders. Common techniques used to treat auditory disorders may involve the use of a hearing aid or other devices, such as cochlear implants. Once a diagnosis has been made the audiologist will develop a treatment plan.
Audiologists work in clinical or organisational settings. Loss of hearing often affects other areas of a patient’s life, so an audiologist may work alongside other health professionals.
Audiologists can choose to specialize in one or more of the following areas:
Audiologists are employed by hospitals, clinics, private companies, government agencies, universities, schools and non-profit organisations.
Many hearing loss related disorders are associated with ageing. Employment opportunities for audiologists are expected to increase over the next decade, due to the age progression of the baby boomer generation.
