Where a audiologist can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a audiologist already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Audiologists assess, diagnose and treat patients ( children or adults) with audiological and vestibular disorders caused by infectious, genetic, traumatic or degenerative conditions, such as hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, imbalance, hyperacusis and auditory processing difficulties. They can prescribe a hearing aid and have a role in assessing and managing patients who may benefit from cochlear implants.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a audiologist already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
