A specialized multidisciplinary center for hearing and balance problems is looking for a clinical psychologist to strengthen its team. The collaboration can consist of one or more fixed days per week and can be further expanded based on patient intake and the development of one's own practice. The center investigates and guides adults and children with, among other things, hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, and balance problems.
Psychological guidance is structurally integrated within multidisciplinary care pathways. The approach is personal, patient-oriented, and scientifically substantiated. Close collaboration is maintained with audiologists and an ENT doctor specialized in otoneurology.
