The Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) is a professional association of audiologists. ADA was founded in 1977 as the Academy of Dispensing Audiologists by Leo Doerfler, John Maher, John Balko, Norm Carmel, Chauncey Hewitt, Mike Pollack, Roy Rowland, and Anthony Tsappis.[2] The current name was adopted in 2006.[3]
ADA is headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. The ADA's stated mission is "Advancement of practitioner excellence, high ethical standards, professional autonomy and sound business practices in the provision of quality audiologic care."[4] ADA also publishes Audiology Practices (previously known as Feedback), a quarterly publication of articles for audiologists in autonomous practice.[5]
Beginning in 1988, ADA developed the concept of the Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree and helped transition audiology to a doctoring healthcare profession in the United States.[6] Distinct from the Ph.D., the Au.D. emphasizes clinical proficiency and services in the practice of audiology.[7] ADA is particularly focused on the business of audiology.
Policy Positions[edit]
ADA supported the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017.[8]
ADA has endorsed legislation to update Medicare statues for hearing and balance healthcare, including the Audiology Patient Choice Act of 2018 (APCA),[9] the Medicare Audiologist Access and Services Act of 2021 (MAASA),[10] and the Medicare Audiology Access Improvement Act (MAAIA).[11]
