About the Journal
The Journal of the American Academy of Audiology (JAAA) is the Academy's scholarly peer-reviewed publication, available online at no cost to Academy members as a benefit of membership. The journal disseminates original research articles, reviews, and clinical reports providing evidence-based and clinically-relevant research.
Aims and Scope
JAAA publishes articles in all areas of audiology, including audiological assessment, amplification, aural habilitation and rehabilitation, auditory electrophysiology, vestibular science, hearing science, and public health. We encourage basic science as well as translational research that has important implications for clinical audiology.
JAAA is accepting submissions for publication in 2026.
Current Highlights
Explore the latest breakthroughs and essential insights in audiology featured in the current issue of JAAA.
Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) in American Sign Language
A recently published innovative study out of Gallaudet University translated the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale into ASL and used a mixed-methods approach to validate the scale in deaf patients. Results allow clinicians to offer deaf patients who use ASL an option to complete a balance scale in their most accessible language.
This is an open-access article.
