Who We Are

Wise Hearing Care is not a traditional clinic—we are a people-first, fully mobile audiology practice bringing exceptional hearing care directly to seniors throughout Chicagoland. We partner with independent and assisted-living communities to provide comprehensive hearing health services onsite, removing the barriers that keep many older adults from accessing hearing care.

We are a young and rapidly growing private practice with a strong belief that:
✔ Better access leads to better outcomes
✔ Relationships build trust and adherence
✔ Audiologists deserve autonomy, respect, and the chance to grow a career they love

If you want a meaningful externship where you’ll actually use the skills you’ve been training for, this is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Perform diagnostic evaluations (air/bone, speech testing, immittance)

• Complete clean & checks, hearing aid repairs, cerumen management

• Fit & program premium prescription hearing aids

• Provide counseling and auditory rehabilitation support

• Build rapport with patients and community partners

• Participate in outreach events, community clinics, and marketing initiatives

• Collaborate closely with a small, supportive team who invests in your success

You will work directly with a supervising audiologist who is deeply committed to mentorship, professional growth, and helping you develop your own clinical autonomy.
