Description
ADA was founded by nine practitioners in 1977 as the Academy of Dispensing Audiologists to foster and support the professional dispensing of hearing aids by qualified audiologists in rehabilitative practices. Later, in 1988, the ADA developed the concept of the Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree and provided much of the energy behind the movement for the transition of audiology to a doctoring healthcare profession.
Member benefits
ADA offers programming and support to those audiologists and students who are or who desire to be independent practitioners in whatever setting they choose to practice.
