Spokane Falls Community College’s Hearing Instrument Specialist (HIS) program is a low-residency, hybrid program. Students in the Spokane area complete lab work on the SFCC campus. Student’s not within the local area are required to find a licensed hearing instrument specialist or audiologist to supervise their required lab activities. This program combines online instruction and lecture, along with hands-on lab activities. Courses explore physiology and anatomy of the auditory system and provide social and technical training in the field. Campus visits are required once every quarter to assess competency.

Applications are being accepted throughout the year for classes beginning each Fall quarter. Currently, there are no prerequisite courses required in order to begin the HIS program. Students may qualify for several types of financial aid. Hearing instrument specialists find a variety of professional experiences available to them, including independent contracted employment, professional consulting, establishment ownership and technical support of related professions.
