The Audioprosthetic Technician is a healthcare worker who handles the supply, adjustment, and monitoring of prosthetic aids used to prevent or correct auditory deficits; they comply with physician prescriptions and provide professional services that imply their full responsibility, and thus professional autonomy. The activities of the Audioprosthetic Technician are geared toward applying prosthetic supports by testing external auditory function, the construction and fitting of hearing aids and other acoustic support systems, and the administration of prosthesis-assessment tests. This Technician works with other professionals in deafness prevention and rehabilitation by supplying prosthetic protections, and training patients to use them.

Graduates of the Audioprosthetic Techniques programme may work for laboratory facilities or clinics in the public or private sector, as authorised under applicable law, as either an employee or independent professional. A basic proficiency in the English language allowing them to work both in Italy, or in Europe (or beyond) is important. Graduates of the Audioprosthetic Techniques programme can find employment in the field of hearing-impairment rehabilitation; thanks to their specific expertise, they can find employment in:

selecting, preparing, and monitoring of audiological prosthetic materials;
technical research and consultancy and quality control at entities and laboratories that make acoustic prosthetics;
specific technical services at centres and hospitals providing treatment for the hearing impaired;
collaborating with university medical, physics, or engineering programmes;
foreign and domestic manufacturing businesses and sales agencies operating in the field of audioprosthetics;
activities as an employee or independent contractor with any healthcare facility or clinic in the public or private sector.
