Auriculotherapists usually have a master's degree in audiology or a related discipline, reports the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Some professionals hold a certificate from a vocational school or training program that the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has accredited.
A 2010 BLS survey reveals that a new auriculotherapist usually receives on-the-job training. Most employees require less than one year of training and working under the direction of skillful professionals, reports O*Net OnLine. Auriculotherapists learn how to evaluate hearing and speech disorders to determine courses of treatment, fit and dispense hearing aids and monitor clients' progress in relation to auriculotherapy procedures.
According to O*Net OnLine, auriculotherapy training lessons help attendees gain dexterity with tools such as automatic impedance audiometers, auditory brainstem response screening systems and hearing aid analyzers.
