Join our privately-owned Audiology practice in the beautiful PNW for your externship! We are accepting applications for two residency positions for the 2024-2025 year. Positions will be in our southern clinics (Gig Harbor, Tacoma, Silverdale), and for our northern clinics (Sequim and Port Angeles).
Over the past 20 years at Harbor Audiology, we have been treating individuals with hearing loss and tinnitus using the best hearing technology available. Listening to and understanding the difficulties of not only our patients, but also those they communicate with regularly, is essential to our success because hearing loss affects more than just one person.
Every day at Harbor Audiology, your passion for what you do will show in the way you treat those who entrust their hearing healthcare to us. You will be expected to work independently in appointments, advocating for outstanding patient care, and coordinating the best overall experience with staff. You will be responsible for using best practices in all that you do, including - hearing evaluations for ages 5 and up, tympanometry, education, and communication counseling, earmold impressions, hearing aid sales, hearing aid fittings utilizing Real Ear Measurement (REM), follow up care and hearing aid programming adjustments.
