Audiologists' salaries can vary depending on a number of factors, including their experience, education, location, and specialty. For example, audiologists who work in private practice may earn more than those who work in hospitals or clinics. Audiologists who have specialized training in areas such as hearing aids, balance disorders, or pediatric audiology may also earn more than those who do not.
Here is a breakdown of the median annual wages for audiologists in different settings:
* Office of physicians: $80,950
* Hospitals: $79,230
* Outpatient care centers: $78,320
* Government: $77,920
* Self-employed: $69,500
Audiologists' salaries can also vary depending on their geographic location. For example, audiologists who work in large metropolitan areas may earn more than those who work in rural areas.
In general, audiologists' salaries are expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations over the next few years. This growth is expected to be driven by the increasing demand for audiology services, as the population ages and more people experience hearing loss.
