What Audiologyonline does

AudiologyOnline, LLC operates an online continuing education marketplace and professional community for audiologists, hearing instrument specialists, and hearing aid dispensers. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Austin, Texas (with a Houston mailing address), the company is a subsidiary of Continued, a multi-professional continuing education platform holding. The product surface comprises a CEU catalog of more than 1,500 accredited courses delivered via live webinars, recorded webinars, text/transcript modules, and audio/podcast formats; a Career Center that aggregates job listings for the audiology profession; and an editorial Journal featuring news, expert interviews, 20Q articles, and Ask the Experts Q&A content. The underlying technology is a standard web-based learning management system with video streaming, course management, CEU tracking, and integration with professional association credentialing systems and state licensing boards.

The business is monetized through four interlocking revenue streams: an unlimited-access individual subscription priced at $129 per year, volume-based Group/Corporate subscriptions sold to audiology practices, hospitals, and hearing aid retailers with admin dashboards and completion reporting, paid employer job listings on the Career Center, and advertising/sponsorship plus co-branded CEU content from hearing healthcare manufacturers and service providers. The go-to-market motion is product-led growth — self-serve web sign-up supplemented by content marketing (articles, expert interviews), SEO for audiology CEU queries, email newsletters, and social media — with a channel partnership layer comprising 30+ industry partners including flagship relationships with the American Academy of Audiology, Oticon, Phonak, Starkey, and Widex, plus cochlear implant makers, diagnostic equipment vendors, patient financing providers, and hearing aid retail networks. Customer segments are primarily licensed audiologists (AuD) maintaining state licensure, with secondary segments in hearing aid dispensers and audiology practices procuring group training.
