We are seeking a motivated, patient-focused Licensed Audiologist or Hearing Aid Specialist to provide hearing-care services at our Northern Virginia clinics and community outreach events.
This independent-contractor opportunity offers substantial scheduling flexibility. The provider selects the clinic days, locations, and community events that fit their availability. After accepting a clinic day or outreach event, the provider is responsible for attending the location and caring for the patients scheduled that day.
The Company provides the clinical and administrative infrastructure needed to serve patients, including an audiometer, computer, hearing-aid programming software, patient-management software, clinical supplies, hearing-aid inventory, marketing, scheduling assistance, accounting support, and other necessary clinical equipment.
Many scheduled patients are insurance or third-party administrator referrals. The provider will also have opportunities to serve private-pay patients generated through Company marketing, community outreach, and facility partnerships.

- Review patients’ hearing and medical histories and identify cases requiring medical or specialty referral.
