The Audiologist will more than likely not be around for a long while. Even with more and more people being implanted, not everyone is a candidate for an implant or even wants one. And that's where we step in. The one thing that worries me is the many under qualified dispensers selling hearing aids at ridiculous prices and giving audiologists a bad name.

Think About It
An audiologists profession is dependent almost entirely on the existence of present day hearing aid technology. If/when that technology changes and gets better, the use of audiologists may decline. For instance, if it goes entirely to the hearing implant route, audiologists may have a difficult time making a living, unless they are just doing the hearing tests for the surgeons who do the implants. Already they train hearing aid technicians who can basically do everything an audiologist does, including testing and prescribing, and the regional law is pretty much the only thing that preserves the audiologist scope of practice. If you want to spend all that time in school (about 4 years for either), go to med school and then do a residency and become an ENT.

No Real undergrad program
One of the great things about audiology is that there really is not a specific undergraduate major for it. Each grad/doctoral program is different but it is possible to have an unrelated undergraduate degree and enter Audiology at the master's level without prior preparedness.
