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. The role involves operating computerized programs to manage electronic medical records, maintaining patient confidentiality per HIPAA, and conducting otoscopic examinations and equipment calibration. Audiologists are expected to be familiar with specific guides from the Office of Disability and Medical Assessment, Veterans Health Administration, and Veterans Benefit Administration for conducting disability examinations.
