Overall, there are ear doctors, hearing aid specialists, and audiologists.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">audiologist job description<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, doctors of audiology or audiologists are licensed professionals who work in hearing health care. These experts specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss and hearing-related disorders in children and adults.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although most audiologists have attained a doctor of audiology degree (Au.D), there are several other doctoral degrees within this field, such as Ph.D., Sc. D., etc. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audiologist jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> usually involve conducting hearing exams, treating hearing disorders and tinnitus, fitting, adjusting, and maintaining hearing aids, and carrying out speech and hearing rehabilitation programs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the most common auditory disorders:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Autoimmune hearing loss<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing loss due to infection such as HIV, herpes, syphilis, etc.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auditory neuropathy<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing loss due to noise<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ototoxicity (poisoning of the ear)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otosclerosis (hearing loss due to the hardening of the stirrups located in the middle ear)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing loss due to stroke<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing loss due to trauma<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tinnitus<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imbalance and dizziness due to aging<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Autoimmune inner ear disease<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bilateral vestibular hypofunction<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perilymph fistula (defect or tear in the membrane that separates the middle ear from the inner ear), etc.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audiology jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are performed by those who specialize in fitting and recommending suitable hearing aid technology. These experts require board certification and state licensure.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Otolaryngologists specialize in treating and diagnosing illnesses of the nose, throat, mouth, and ears. They frequently refer their patients to audiologists regarding digital hearing aids, prescriptions, or counseling.<\/span><\/p><h4><b>Duties<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the duties of an audiologist:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assess the patient\u2019s examination results and diagnose issues<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examine the patients who have balance or hearing problems<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evaluate and administer treatments\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide complete treatment for tinnitus<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dispense and fit hearing aids<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advise patients and their families how to communicate and listen (e.g., via technology or lip reading)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Record the progress of the patient<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do extensive research on the causes and treatment of balance and hearing disorders<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advise patients on how to prevent hearing loss<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4><b>Audiologist Job Types<\/b><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many different types of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">jobs in<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">audiology field<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for those who want to work in a specific area of practice.

Pediatric audiologists perform various hearing tests to determine the reasons behind hearing loss and its extent in children of all ages (from babies to teens).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conversely, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clinical audiologist jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> involve working with patients of various ages who have speech, language, or balance-related disorders that are a direct result of hearing loss. These experts identify and evaluate hearing issues, rehabilitate patients with hearing loss, and work with their patients to successfully prevent any further damage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, specializing in any of these fields often requires additional training. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that more than 70% of audiologists are employed in healthcare facilities such as hospitals, audiology clinics (reserved for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clinical audiologist jobs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), and group or private practices.
