What are the responsibilities and job description for the Audiologist - Part-time position at Allegiance Medical, Inc.?
Audiologist – Flexible Contract Role Serving Our Nation’s Veterans
(1099 Independent Contractor – Set Your Own Hours • Low-stress • High Respect)
Are you tired of hearing about the same old VA exam jobs with inflexible schedules, high stress, and little professional support?
We heard you — and we do things differently!
Why this role stands out
- 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 eligible family members.
- 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.
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.
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.
