There is a lot of counselling and empathy involved in audiology, which cannot be replaced by AI or a robot. Moreover, providing communication and management strategies is an important component of an appointment. Whilst, advances in technology will improve accessibility to devices and help individuals, the job is not replaceable by humans.

Machine learning and automated diagnosis will allow the job to be de-skilled and conducted by a nurse or other lower-cost medical personnel.

Because you need to do a lot of tasks that are too complex for robots. You also have to communicate with patients, a new early impossible future for robots.

Robots will never substitute us, is not possible because we are taking care of other persons, solving real problems and there is a different solution for each person in the earth. A machine could repeat processes, make different things, but they will never be able to empathise which is absolutely necessary in our job.
