r/audiology

Hello all! I’m currently a mobile traveling audiologist and honestly the travel is wearing me down in every way. I have been practicing for over 15 years in clinical roles and thought the traveling position would be a welcome change. I’d love to transition into remote/telehealth audiology but the job market seems surprisingly thin. I’ve read research that says telehealth roles in audiology is projected to grow substantially but I have yet to see that reflected in the job market. Has anyone made this switch? Do you like the work and the company you’re with? If you have leads on who’s actively hiring it would be hugely appreciated. Also, feel free to message me if you don’t want to comment. TIA!

As a person considering a future as an audiologist, I’d like to hear from those of you out there in the field now, looking at employment. What are you seeing in terms of job openings and mobility in the profession? I detect a sense of disappointment from a handful of people I’ve talked to, so hoping to add a few more data points.

I’m more interested in the less-traveled pathways, such as occupational or government audiology positions, but also interested in CI, or OR-work.

FWIW, I work as an SLP now and I have explored this field, managing intense burnout. If you have other suggestions, I’m all 👂s (haha…was that too much?).

Hello everyone

Got interested in this profession because i noticed they worked with apointment in an office and helped the lives of other people

I was always a very anxious person and i feel like most public facing jobs would trigger it. But i noticed in hearing aids, the apointments arent rushed. I was wondering how difficult the patients could be? If the day to day was hard as in stressful? How sales impacted your job

New clinician. How do you stay patient with patient who continues to condescend you in each appointment? Without losing your cool? Have you lost your cool?

Curious what other hearing clinics/HIS/audiologists/front office staff think about this.

If you could improve or completely redesign one part of Sycle, what would it be?

Could be:

• Scheduling
• Follow-ups
• Reporting
• Insurance workflow
• Patient profiles
• Trial tracking
• Task management
• UI/design
• Speed
• Integrations
• Anything else

I use it daily and feel like there are a lot of little things that could be smoother/faster, especially compared to newer software in other industries.

Interested to hear what frustrates people most or what features you wish existed. Also I am not a Sycle worker lmao. I am a HIS in Nebraska
