The U.S. Congress, through its various committees, plays a vital role in shaping health-care policy, including issues involving audiology. Among the most influential are the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, Senate Finance Committee, House Energy and Commerce Committee, and House Ways and Means Committee.
