Audiologist Jobs in East Chicago, IN

An Audiologist is a highly trained professional who specializes in diagnosing, managing, and treating patients with auditory and balance problems. They play a critical role in the therapy industry by offering solutions for hearing and balance disorders, often working with patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. These professionals perform comprehensive auditory evaluations, recommend and fit hearing aids, counsel patients and their families about communication strategies, and provide rehabilitation therapy for tinnitus and vestibular disorders. They can also implement cochlear implants and perform intraoperative monitoring. Audiologists work in a variety of settings, including private practices, hospitals, clinics, schools, and research institutions.

Potential Audiologists should have a doctoral degree in audiology (Au.D.), and they must be licensed by their respective states. This requires passing a national examination in audiology. Other certifications, like the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology (CCC-A) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), are also beneficial. Essential skills for an Audiologist include exceptional communication skills, patience, problem-solving abilities, and the capacity to use specialized instruments and software. Prior to becoming an Audiologist, one might work as an Audiology Assistant, Speech-Language Pathology Assistant, or a Hearing Aid Dispenser, all of which give valuable experience in the field of hearing healthcare.
