Employment Resources and Professions Available to Audiology and Speech Sciences Graduates

Depending on the degree, graduates can work in research or in clinical practice. Hearing instrument specialists work in businesses that sell hearing aids and assistive listening devices. They test hearing ability, select appropriate hearing aids for clients to purchase, and provide ongoing counseling and support to clients for their hearing and communication needs. They can also work for hearing aid manufacturers.

For those with a graduate-level degree in audiology or hearing sciences the options are much more varied. Graduates can work in clinical audiology and diagnose and treat those with hearing difficulties. They can work in preschools, schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and government agencies. Some audiologists specialize in work with the elderly, children, or hearing-impaired individuals. Others develop ways to protect workers' hearing from on-the-job injuries. They measure noise levels in workplaces and conduct hearing protection programs in factories, schools, and communities.

For those with a desire to remain in research, employment is available at universities and hospitals where they teach audiology, neurology, psychology, or linguistics, while doing research at the same time. They conduct research on types of hearing, balance, and related disorders. Others design and develop equipment or techniques for diagnosing and treating these disorders.

A degree in audiology can also be used for a career in medicine, psychology, social work, nursing, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. For those with an interest in designing hearing assistive devices or improving on hearing technology, graduates can also go into biomechanical engineering.
