Our Operations

The Hearing and Balance Clinic is a unit within the field of otolaryngology at Uppsala University Hospital. The clinic conducts diagnostics for hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness, as well as rehabilitation with cochlear implants and brainstem implants and offers CBT for tinnitus and sound sensitivity.

We see both children and adults. Some of our patients come with acute medical conditions and traumas while others have longer, rehabilitative contacts. The diagnostics we perform are both basic and highly specialized. We receive students from nearby audiology programs as part of their clinical training.

Your Mission

As an audiologist, you will be part of a multidisciplinary team with audiologists, speech therapists, social workers, psychologists, hearing educators, engineers, coordinators, and audiologists. We also have close collaboration and exchange with the otosurgery clinic and the ear-nose-throat clinic. Your main tasks will be within diagnostics. We perform all kinds of basic diagnostics, but also highly specialized diagnostics such as ABR, ASSR, OAE, VEMP, and VNG. Patients of all ages come to the clinic, so you will perform both pediatric and adult assessments. The clinic has a large proportion of pediatric patients, so audiological assessments on children may be part of your work. As a new employee with us, you will receive an introduction and an experienced mentor. There is a good mix of high tempo, quick decisions, and time for reflection and recovery. The workgroup is characterized by a great sense of community, responsiveness, and a passionate interest in hearing care.

Your Qualifications

You are a licensed audiologist and can work independently. Previous experience with audiological hearing assessments is an advantage.

Your Skills

You are clear and pedagogical in your contact with patients. You can make your own decisions and assessments based on the diagnostics you perform. You are structured and plan, organize, and prioritize your work effectively. We place great importance on personal qualities such as commitment, interest in the patient group, initiative, and good collaboration skills.

We Offer

Project employment during 2026 on a full-time basis. Start date according to agreement.
