Description

Audiologist – Flexible Contract Role  

(1099 Independent Contractor – Set Your Own Hours • Low-stress • High Respect)

Mt Pleasant, Wisconsin

Why this role stands out

• Generous fee schedule!
• You’re an independent contractor: you pick the hours from our available openings. Want to do exams in the morning, afternoons, or on a side-gig basis? You’ve got that control.
• You're joining a friendly team environment, not a disconnected “exam mill.” You’ll be respected not just as a number, but as a learned, capable audiology professional bringing valuable knowledge and skills to the table.
• Low-stress. The focus: diagnostic evaluations for veterans — no treatment/dispensing pressures. We provide the structure, you bring the expertise.
• Purposeful work. You’ll be supporting our troops and veterans — people who served our country. Many find this deeply fulfilling.
• Flexibility & freedom. If you're winding down your career, exploring part-time work, or just craving something different from the daily grind — this role is ideal.

What you’ll do

• Perform diagnostic audiology evaluations (age-appropriate adult populations) for Veterans and government employees.
• Use electro-acoustic instrumentation (pure tone & speech audiometers, acoustic middle-ear equipment) to assess hearing, balance, tinnitus.
• Determine range, nature and degree of hearing function related to aural communication needs.
• Maintain accurate, clear patient records: background info, responses, progress.
• Provide written reports and progress notes.
• Complete audiometric data entry into Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) format within 24 hours of exam (for rating purposes).
• Conduct full medical record review and supply medical opinion/rationale when needed.
• Work within a flexible schedule—help us meet referral volumes while choosing what works for you.
• Meet credentialing requirements set by the VA and DOW.

Who we’re looking for

• Licensed Audiologist (Au.D. or equivalent) with strong diagnostic experience.
• Confident in performing adult hearing evaluations (no treatment/dispensing required).
• Comfortable working independently but also appreciates being part of a collaborative, respectful team.
• Professional, reliable, responsive — because our veterans count on the quality of your work.
• Tech-savvy enough to manage instrumentation, entry into DBQ-template formats, and timely reporting.

Why Your Expertise Matters in Compensation & Pension Examinations

As an audiologist, your clinical skillset represents one of the most vital components in the evaluation of veterans and service members whose hearing and communication abilities have been shaped by their military service. This role is not routine diagnostic work—it is expert testimony. It is the authoritative voice that guides federal decisions, shapes disability outcomes, and can ultimately lead to determining the services, benefits, and long-term support our nation’s veterans receive.

Compensation & Pension examinations demand a level of precision, integrity, and clinical judgment that only highly trained audiologists can provide. Your mastery of auditory science is indispensable in distinguishing true pathology from confounding variables, ensuring fairness, accuracy, and adherence to evidence-based standards. Simply put: without skilled audiologists, the system cannot function as intended.

By serving in this capacity, you elevate your profession and join a select group of specialists entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding the health equity of veterans. This position affirms your role as a subject-matter expert, reinforces your standing within the audiology community, and allows you to make a measurable difference—one that goes far beyond the clinic.

If you are an audiologist who values autonomy, professionalism, and meaningful impact, this work represents an opportunity to practice at the highest level of your expertise while contributing to a mission of national significance.

Your expertise is not just helpful—it is essential. And the veterans we serve deserve nothing less than the very best.

Your advantages

• Control your schedule: Choose from available open hours; do it part-time, full-time, side-gig — it’s your call.
• Professional respect: You’re not just an “exam driver” — you’re a valued audiologist, bringing your expertise, judgment, and experience.
• Meaningful impact: Work with veterans who’ve served our country — the sense of purpose is real.
• Low-stress model: No treatment sales quotas; no heavy administrative burdens; focused on what you trained to do.
• Generous fees: We appreciate your expertise and compensate accordingly.
• Team culture: Even though you’re a contractor, we maintain a friendly, positive, supportive environment — you’ll never feel isolated or on your own.
