Hey guys,
I'm currently a Junior at MTSU in Murfreesboro, TN. I am a Recording Industry major with a concentration in Audio Engineering. I recently become interested in the field of Audiology after it was mentioned by a professor in my "critical listening" course. He mentioned how the industry and job market are booming in this particular field. He also mentioned how rewarding such a career could be. With the exceptional competition within the recording industry I have more recently been looking for alternate paths. Thus far my research into Audiology has left me intrigued. I intend on taking some courses at my current institution to better evaluate if this truly is what I want to continue my education in.
Up to this point in my research I have come across one issue. I have personally never looked into medicine prior to this. Mostly because I am pretty squeemish when it comes to invasive surgery. So my question to any active Audiologist is exactly what role does the audiologist play in the cochlear implant procedure? Is the surgery done completely by the audiologist or a licensed surgeon? Thanks for ya'lls help!
