I have a young adult patient with tiny canals (see impressions) and hearing that has recently dropped to severe SNHL. I want to get this patient every bit of gain I can. I am worried about the probe mic for REMs a) being pinched, and b) causing a significant change in ear canal resonance (because the probe will be so large in the ear canal). Are these reasonable concerns? Should I be considering RECDs (or will that have the same effect on resonance)?

Audiologists, do you guys have a digital Auditory Processing Disorder test? Or know where to find one? My professor is still using tests on CDs that she calibrated and plays through Diagnostic Suite on the computer. She'd much rather have wav files but doesn't know where to get a digital version of the test. submitted by /u/meanyapickles [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

There are numerous ear cleanings done by audiologists in the UK. Do audiologists in the U.S. do these? If not who performs them? submitted by /u/WastingMyLifeOnSocMd [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I got my bachelors in SLP & Hearing Sciences, & I’m really struggling to find a job. I don’t think I want to go to audiology school anymore. Is it normal to cold email audiology clinics to see if they have some jobs, even if no job is listed? Even to be an audiology assistant. I’m getting really discouraged because I have no idea how to use my degree submitted by /u/gij444 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

On Tuesday I noticed my one ear felt like I was under water or had just gotten off a plane. I know an audiologist who gave me a Tympanometry and there was no movement. Went to the doctor and got antibiotics and ear drops. Apparently I had an ear infection and throat infection. I’m on day 6 and there has been little change in how my ear feels although I no longer have other signs of an ear infection like a fever or headache, so clearly I’m getting better. Any insight on when I should expect my hearing to go back to normal? The muffled sounds is very annoying lol submitted by /u/Material_Yoghu ..read more

Hi, does anybody have a graph or source showing average hearing test results by age, that goes up to 16,000 Hertz or higher? I have found charts that show the average hearing test by age going up to 8,000, but I'm wondering what it looks like in that higher extended range.

Hi all! I'm studying in Europe to be an SLP, second career. I've been disappointed with my studies and I have been looking for ways to make it more interesting by looking into additional degrees I could do after I graduate. Kind of trying to create my own niche or something along those lines. But then there was a plot twist... Turns out, I can switch to audiology without losing any credit. The two first year of SLP and audiology are the same, so I would just continue on a different path. I didn't know this because the part time curriculum for second career students is only for future SLP's. B ..read more

I have an opportunity to leave the clinic for a tech support role for a manufacturer. While I have been feeling burnt out by the clinic (difficult/ angry patients, poor scheduling and management, etc.), I don’t know much about what this kind of role entails. Has anyone worked in this kind of role, and if so would you recommend or not? submitted by /u/Auds_and_ends [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’ve been doing quite a bit of research on the Audiology industry and I’m looking for 7 to 10 private practice owners or partners to interview. Interviews would be 30 minutes, no soft or hard sales pitch whatsoever, and I would be willing to compensate you for your time. If you would be open to this, please comment or DM me — sincere thanks! submitted by /u/akaBeatrixKiddo [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
