What jobs i can work with my degree?

Hello i have an undergraduate degree in Audiology with high honor and close 4.0 gpa from Turkey. Which jobs i can work with my degree?

career audiology audiologist doctor-of-audiology
Thank you comment icon Well, in the US an audiology degree is a doctorate. However, with a more limited scope of practice you could be a Hearing Aid Dispenser. This is a state certification that involves a written exam, a practical exam, and supervised hands-on. ASHA has a decent list of each state's individual requirements. Jackie Cooper

Karin’s Answer

Hi Jenny,

If you want to become an audiologist in the US, you need to earn a doctorate (AuD, PhD or combination of AuD and PhD) in audiology. Check out the programs at East Tennessee State University, University of Memphis, University of Tennessee - Knoxville, and Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.

You find some more information about working as a foreign-educated audiologist in the US here:

If you don't want to pursue further education, you can work as a Health Technician (Audiology), Operations Manager Audiology, Audiology Assistant or Research Assistant or similar entry level positions in audiology clinics.

I hope this helps! All the best to you!
