Did you know that the American Academy of Audiology (the Academy) is supported by approximately 350 volunteers? 

Older adults are living longer and more active lives than ever before. For audiologists, that means a larger number of clients who present with both auditory and cognitive changes.

The AAA Foundation, in proud partnership with Phonak, LLC, will present the 2017 edition of the Foundation’s Improving Patient Care Through Innovation in the Workplace Lecture Series at AudiologyNOW!^®

Research shows best practices exceed product quality when determining overall consumer success, so it is in the interest of the profession to both increase the number of audiologists using best practices, and direct consumers to audiologists that use them.

Did you know that at the end of 2016, the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) ended and was replaced by CMS’ new Quality Payment Program (QPP)? This means that 2016 was the final year in which providers, including audiologists, were eligible to participate in the PQRS program. 

As an audiology student, there are numerous opportunities to learn from or serve as a mentor. We may be assigned a faculty advisor to guide us through our academic career. Perhaps, we choose a research mentor to facilitate the completion of an independent research project or capstone.

Over the past 15 years since the doctor of audiology (AuD) degree was adopted nationally, it has become clear that many systemic problems with the externship model exist and need to be urgently addressed.
