Audiologist

Audiologists perform clinical audiology testing of claimants using advanced technology and procedures, evaluating test results to determine the type and degree of hearing impairment and its likely cause. The role involves operating computerized programs to manage electronic medical records, maintaining patient confidentiality per HIPAA, and conducting otoscopic examinations and equipment calibration. Audiologists also review claimants' records, participate in continuing education, and meet quality and submission time requirements.
