Calling all students! Start your journey as an audiology professional with us at Hearing Solutions in Gillette, Wyoming!
Traveling from over an hour away, many of our patients come from the surrounding communities to get the service they deserve and will tell you that “not all providers are like us.” We have been the go-to practice for almost 15 years and are growing into our new, larger location so we can continue to give our patients the best care possible. Plus, our great team, including our CCC-A audiologist, has over 45 years of combined experience which we use to help our patients obtain their hearing health care needs with a personalized touch and we want to share our expertise with you!
As an extern on our team, you will gain hands-on experience with diagnostic testing, fitting hearing instruments with Real Ear, troubleshooting hearing instruments that quit working, and helping patients navigate what to do with their child in school that has hearing loss. You will also work closely with the doctors in our community and local ENTs, providing diagnostic evaluations that help in the treatment of various ear issues as well as fitting and soon working with the OSHA bone conduction aids from Cochlear. Furthermore, our entire team has a part in the day-to-day business operations, giving you the opportunity to also learn about the business side of audiology and how a practice is run.
So if you are as motivated and passionate about supporting patients with their journey through hearing loss as we are, then we would love for you to come join our community! Apply today!
