The changing landscape of hearing health care is causing unrest in our profession. Students and new professionals may feel insecure about job prospects and the future of the field, while more seasoned audiologists may feel powerless to adapt to changes in health-care delivery.
One way to combat this uncertainty is through mentorship. The mentor–mentee relationship serves to develop new professionals so they are better equipped to navigate our profession, while established audiologists experience rejuvenation and renewed interest in audiology through interactions with students and new professionals. Additionally, more seasoned audiologists will be able to help develop the skills of the new professionals to ensure the success and continuation of our field.
