Job Purpose
The Audiologist will provide comprehensive diagnostic, rehabilitative, and preventive hearing and balance services for adult and paediatric patients at the African Medical Centre of Excellence (AMCE).

The role holder will conduct advanced audiological assessments, support the management of hearing and vestibular disorders, select and fit hearing technologies, counsel patients and families, and work closely with ENT and multidisciplinary teams to deliver safe, evidence-based, patient-centred care.

Key Accountabilities/Responsibilities
Diagnostic Audiology

• Obtain relevant clinical histories and perform otoscopic examination and age-appropriate behavioural hearing assessments.
• Conduct and interpret pure-tone and speech audiometry, tympanometry, acoustic reflex testing, otoacoustic emissions, and other middle- and inner-ear assessments.
• Perform or support electrophysiological testing, including auditory brainstem response and auditory steady-state response, in accordance with scope of practice and clinical protocols.
• Conduct vestibular assessments and contribute to the evaluation of patients presenting with dizziness, imbalance, tinnitus, or suspected auditory processing difficulties. Prepare clear diagnostic reports, communicate findings, and make timely referrals for medical, surgical, rehabilitative, or educational intervention.

Hearing Rehabilitation & Patient Care

• Develop individualised audiological management plans in partnership with patients, families, carers, and referring clinicians.
• Select, fit, verify, programme, and review hearing aids and other assistive listening devices using recognised clinical protocols.
• Provide counselling on hearing loss, tinnitus, communication strategies, device use, hearing conservation, and realistic rehabilitation outcomes.
• Support cochlear implant and other implantable hearing-device pathways, including candidacy assessment, counselling, activation, mapping support, and follow-up where applicable. Provide paediatric and adult aural rehabilitation and coordinate onward referral to speech and language therapy, education, psychology, or other services as required.

Education, Prevention & Service Development

• Educate patients, families, staff, and community stakeholders on hearing health, early identification, prevention, and rehabilitation.
• Contribute to hearing-conservation, screening, outreach, and health-promotion initiatives aligned with AMCE priorities.
