Traveling Audiologist
About the role
ExcelHealth Group is seeking a full-time, patient-centered Audiologist to provide high-quality hearing healthcare services to residents in long-term care and skilled nursing facilities throughout the state. This role is ideal for a licensed provider who values clinical independence, enjoys working in different care settings, and wants to make a meaningful difference for residents who may have limited access to audiology services.
Why This Role Stands Out
As a Traveling Audiologist, you will visit assigned long-term care and skilled nursing facilities to evaluate hearing needs, perform audiologic testing, support hearing aid services, and help residents maintain communication, independence, and quality of life. You will work independently while remaining connected to a supportive administrative and scheduling team. Full state coverage is required, and company support is provided for approved travel-related needs.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate, diagnose, and support treatment of hearing conditions for residents in long-term care and skilled nursing facilities.
- Conduct otoscopic exams, hearing screenings, diagnostic hearing evaluations, and other clinically appropriate audiology services using mobile equipment.

- Dispense, program, adjust, maintain, troubleshoot, and coordinate repair of hearing aids and related assistive devices as applicable.
- Identify changes in patient condition and communicate concerns to appropriate facility staff, families, or care team members as needed.
- Maintain accurate, complete, and timely documentation for each patient encounter.
- Coordinate with the internal scheduling team to support efficient routing, facility visits, and patient care coverage.
- Represent ExcelHealth Group professionally when interacting with residents, families, facility staff, and care partners.
- Stay current with audiology best practices, compliance expectations, licensure requirements, and continuing education standards.
Requirements
- Doctor of Audiology degree or other state-approved audiology credential required for licensure.
- Valid state license to practice audiology, or ability to obtain required licensure before starting.

- Strong clinical judgment and comfort working independently in a mobile healthcare environment.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate respectfully with patients, facility staff, families, and internal team members.
- Strong organizational skills, including the ability to manage documentation, scheduling expectations, equipment needs, and travel responsibilities.
- Commitment to delivering compassionate, ethical, and high-quality hearing care to long-term care residents.

Work Environment
This position involves travel to long-term care and skilled nursing facilities throughout the state and requires comfort working in resident care environments.
