Clinical Audiologist

Job Description

Innovative Audiology Practice | Lake Forest, IL

Full-Time | In-Office (Not Remote)

About Us

Lake Forest Hearing Professionals is a women-owned private practice with over 30 years of experience delivering comprehensive, evidence-based hearing healthcare. Over three decades in practice has allowed us to witness and actively participate in the evolution of audiology. We are committed to staying at the forefront of where the field is going next.

We go far beyond hearing aids. Our clinical approach evaluates how patients hear, process sound, and manage listening effort, with a strong focus on the relationship between hearing, cognition, and brain health. Treatment plans may include amplification, counseling, and ear-to-brain training strategies designed to improve sound processing and real-world communication.

Unlike a traditional medical practice, our space is open-concept and intentionally designed to encourage conversation, education, and collaboration. As our clinical philosophy continues to evolve, so do our roles. We are looking for an audiologist who wants to grow with us, someone who is interested in being a thought partner in the ongoing evolution of treatment, not just a provider following a static model of care.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a full-time, in-office Audiologist (Au.D.) who wants to practice audiology differently. Someone interested in clinical excellence, cognitive-based hearing care, and the long-term evolution of the profession.

This is a fully in-office position. The role is intentionally evolving as our clinical model grows, but it requires consistency, dependability, and emotional maturity. The ideal candidate is adaptable, thoughtful, and engaged. They are comfortable practicing in an open, patient-facing environment and committed to building long-term patient relationships.
