The economic outlook for the field of private practice audiology is strong…and getting stronger. A rapidly aging society, rising demand for medical care, advancements in technology, increased awareness of personal health and the continued uptick in the number of people willing to use all types of technology are all reasons that private audiology practices are here to stay.


The Baby Boomer Generation, the second largest generation in the US, is aging and, as such, will need audiological services in ever-increasing numbers. This generation is also the wealthiest in US history. Unfortunately, hearing aids are not covered by insurance, so patients with more disposable income are more likely to seek treatment.


Universities are graduating fewer audiologists than are retiring each year. This represents a huge opportunity for providers who open their own practice. More and more people will need hearing help in the near future and there are less audiologists to see them. Opening a Coates Hearing Clinic franchise will give you the ability to be a part of the solution, helping patients with their hearing and balance needs through research-backed, world-class audiological care. Help us fill this ever-growing need for hearing healthcare!
