Care Under Pressure: The State of the Audiology Workforce

Demand for hearing care is surging. The workforce can't keep up. In the U.S. alone, 75% of counties face hearing care shortages, and aging baby boomers are driving more demand for hearing care services.

Here's What You'll Learn in This Webinar

In this session, we cut through the headlines and look at the real data behind the audiologist shortage and the quieter crisis underneath it: clinician burnout and the erosion of time that fuels it. We'll cover relevant research from the field as well as Auditdata's industry pulse-check.

The Data: We surveyed hearing care professionals across our network on workforce pressure, administrative burden, and burnout. We share what came back, including the findings we did not expect. Alongside it, the latest published workforce research.
Panel Discussion: Diverse audiology expert panel who have spent their careers close to hearing care. We'll discuss how serious the shortage really is, how clinics can pull right now to ease the pressure, and where the profession goes from here.
Live Q&A: Bring your questions as we'll cover them in the end.
