Audiologist

Duties and responsibilities: An audiologist specializes in communication science and disorders. He or she uses various instruments to diagnose hearing difficulties and balance disorders. An audiologist measures hearing loss and determines its cause. Once a diagnosis has been reached, he or she develops a treatment plan that takes into account the impact the disability is having on the patient.

Salary: $101,130.

Education: Audiology graduate degree programs integrate research, coursework, skills labs and supervised clinical experiences. While a master's degree program is the most common foundation for a career in audiology, fewer than 20 states required audiologists to possess a doctorate in audiology as of 2009, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
