What skills will help Audiology Directors earn the most?
Susan Naidu Ph.D.: The job market for SLPs and audiologists is diverse, and so, the salaries vary from state to state and also type of clinical location (i.e., educational setting vs. medical setting). In speaking with potential employers, I sense that they are looking for individuals who they feel will be committed to their workplace and stay awhile. Rapid turnover is hard to overcome in large medical settings and really in all clinical settings. Employers look for the person they feel will be committed and 'step in' when needed, be motivated. In fields such as audiology, there are more highly specialized skills such as intraoperative monitoring and cochlear implant mapping. Having experience and good knowledge in specialized areas will likely be a positive as you negotiate your salary. On the other side, it is also good to be diversified and not specialized in only one area; it depends on the site you are applying to and their needs for a person in your profession (i.e., audiologist).
What general advice would you give to an Audiology Director?
Dr. Sara Burdak: Never stop learning. Graduation is just the first step in your professional career. At Starkey, I've worn many hats, but I've always had a passion for training. I now oversee a global Education and Audiology team and our Government Services division, working with several thousand hearing healthcare professionals, on an annual basis, to provide better hearing to their patients. The hearing industry is always evolving. Just this year, Starkey unveiled the world's first custom rechargeable hearing aid and a new feature called Edge Mode, which allows a hearing aid wearer to adapt to a new listening environment with just a simple tap of the device. As the needs of patients change, the hearing industry will need bright minds who are not afraid to take that next step in the hearing aid revolution.
