What does an audiologist do in the Air Force?
A. Essentially everything that an audiologist does out of the Air Force, and more! We have positions that involve infant hearing screening, fitting programmable and digital hearing aids, tests of balance function, aural rehabilitation, hearing conservation, research, counseling, providing lectures to residents in pediatrics, ENT, family practice, etc. We see patients of all ages, not just the active duty member…we take care of the whole family. There is also a much greater emphasis on hearing conservation/industrial audiology and hearing loss prevention than you will find in any civilian job.
