Statement on use of the term "Doctor" in Advertising

The American Academy of Audiology recommends that, in printed media such as on business cards, in letterhead, and advertisements, audiologists with doctoral degrees in audiology or a directly relevant area refer to themselves in one of the following manners:

Jane Doe, AuD, Doctor of Audiology
or Jane Doe, AuD
or Jane Doe, PhD, Audiologist
or Jane Doe, PhD

Members are advised to check applicable state laws, including licensure laws, before referring to themselves in writing in another manner or using other terminology, such as Dr. Doe, without further designation of degree.
