Audiology!
If you are interested in the science of hearing, you like working with people of all ages, and you want to significantly change people’s lives, the University of Memphis has a highly-ranked, nationally respected Doctor of Audiology program, with a broad range of training experiences.
Audiologists are the primary professionals delivering hearing, balance, tinnitus, hearing devices, and speech perception services for all ages and populations.
