Audiologist Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a audiologist in Illinois?
To practice as an audiologist in Illinois, you must obtain a license from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). This requires completing an Au.D. degree from a program accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Audiology Education (ACAE) or a Council on Academic Accreditation program, passing the Praxis Audiology exam, and completing a supervised clinical fellowship. Many Illinois employers also expect or require the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology.
How much do audiologists make in Illinois?
Audiologists in Illinois earn a median of about $93,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,780 for the lowest 10% to over $131,380 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire audiologists in Illinois?
Employers hiring audiologists in Illinois right now include Demant, Connect Hearing, and OSF HealthCare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Illinois's dense concentration of large health systems, university medical centers, and multi-location hearing care groups means openings appear regularly across both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Which Illinois cities have the most audiologist jobs?
Peoria, Illinois, and Springfield have the most audiologist openings in Illinois. Chicago drives the bulk of demand through its major academic medical centers and private practice networks, while Peoria and Rockford generate consistent openings through regional hospital systems and community health organizations that serve populations across central and northern Illinois.
Are there remote audiologist jobs in Illinois?
Yes, but they're rare. Audiology is a hands-on clinical role that typically requires in-person patient contact for diagnostic testing, hearing aid fittings, and device programming. About 0% of audiologist openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of October 2026. The portions of the role most likely to be performed remotely include telehealth consultations, follow-up counseling sessions, and administrative or supervisory duties.
How can I get hired as a audiologist in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a clinical fellowship year position, which large Illinois health systems such as Northwestern Medicine, Rush University Medical Center, and Advocate Health Care post specifically for new Au.D. graduates. School districts and early intervention programs through the Illinois State Board of Education also hire clinical fellows and entry-level audiologists. Holding an active or pending IDFPR license application and ASHA student membership strengthens a new-grad application considerably.
