About Us: Hearing and Speech Connection began in 2002 and has grown to two full-time locations in Billlings and Miles City and a satellite office in Glendive, Montana. We provide audiology and speech therapy services to adults and children alike, giving our providers a broad patient experience. In addition to diagnostics, implantables, and the fitting of hearing aids, we have well developed niche programs for tinnitus and auditory processing disorder and see patients from all over the state (and even neighboring states) who seek out our expertise in these areas.

We claim we're the best thing since sliced bread, and we mean it, for employees and patients alike! At HASC we prioritize collaborative teamwork and patient-centered care, but we also prioritize fun and happiness. At HASC, you will always be treated kindly and fairly and appreciated for your talents and skills.

Your Role: As an audiologist, you will conduct thorough evaluations, recommend appropriate solutions through individualized treatment plans, complete timely documentation, and provide ongoing support to patients of all ages. You’ll work closely with our whole team, but will also have a dedicated audiology assistant to take care of most clean and checks, in-house repairs, orders, troubleshooting the ubiquitous phone pairing issues, etc., leaving you free to do what you do best.
