(1099 Independent Contractor – Set Your Own Hours • Low-stress • High Respect)
Mt Pleasant, Wisconsin
Why this role stands out
- Generous fee schedule!
- 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.

- Complete audiometric data entry into Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) format within 24 hours of exam (for rating purposes).

- Confident in performing adult hearing evaluations (no treatment/dispensing required).

- Tech-savvy enough to manage instrumentation, entry into DBQ-template formats, and timely reporting.
Why Your Expertise Matters in Compensation & Pension Examinations
As an audiologist, your clinical skillset represents one of the most vital components in the evaluation of veterans and service members whose hearing and communication abilities have been shaped by their military service. This role is not routine diagnostic work—it is expert testimony. It is the authoritative voice that guides federal decisions, shapes disability outcomes, and can ultimately lead to determining the services, benefits, and long-term support our nation’s veterans receive.
Compensation & Pension examinations demand a level of precision, integrity, and clinical judgment that only highly trained audiologists can provide. Your mastery of auditory science is indispensable in distinguishing true pathology from confounding variables, ensuring fairness, accuracy, and adherence to evidence-based standards. Simply put: without skilled audiologists, the system cannot function as intended.
By serving in this capacity, you elevate your profession and join a select group of specialists entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding the health equity of veterans. This position affirms your role as a subject-matter expert, reinforces your standing within the audiology community, and allows you to make a measurable difference—one that goes far beyond the clinic.
If you are an audiologist who values autonomy, professionalism, and meaningful impact, this work represents an opportunity to practice at the highest level of your expertise while contributing to a mission of national significance.
Your expertise is not just helpful—it is essential. And the veterans we serve deserve nothing less than the very best.
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.
