r/audiology

Hey everyone,

I’m a second-year bachelor’s student studying Audiology , and I already have a pretty solid grasp of the basic anatomy of the ear, including most structures and their functions. Now I’m looking to go deeper, something that explains things in more detail, especially with clinical relevance and maybe even some physiology integration.

I don’t want something too surface-level or overly simplified, but I’d also prefer a book that’s actually understandable and not written like an extremely dense medical textbook.

Any recommendations for books that:

Go into good anatomical detail (microstructures, pathways, etc.)

Are useful for audiology or hearing science

Balance depth with clarity

Would really appreciate suggestions, especially from audiology students or professionals.

Current student here looking ahead to working somewhere that qualifies for PSLF! I know the obvious option is the VA, but what other types of settings qualify? I know they just need to be a nonprofit/401c, is there a database somewhere or do I just need to do some googling?

TY!

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?

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

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!
