Overview
Audiologists perform auditory examinations and prescribe non-medical treatment to conserve or improve communication ability. They design, develop, and maintain aural rehabilitation programs. Additionally, they advise on programs to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.
Military Training
Officers typically enter the Military after they have completed a four-year college degree; enlisted service members can transition to officer positions through a variety of pathways and earn a degree while serving. Audiologists typically have a graduate degree in audiology. Job training for audiologists primarily consists of on-the-job learning in various healthcare environments, and through receiving advanced civilian/industry certifications and licenses (credentials), which may require additional education, training, or experience. Like other healthcare officers, they complete a comprehensive training program covering responsibilities, military structure and etiquette, traditions, the military health system, and leadership development.
