Academy of Doctors of Audiology
The Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) is a professional organization founded in 1977 aimed at advancing practitioner excellence and promoting high ethical standards in audiologic care. Originally established as the Academy of Dispensing Audiologists, the ADA has played a crucial role in the evolution of audiology into a doctoring healthcare profession with the Au.D. degree as the minimum qualification for practice in the United States.
ADA offers a range of resources, including practice management tools, advocacy initiatives, and educational events like the annual AuDacity Conference, which fosters innovation and leadership among audiologists. The organization also provides vital support for legislative efforts aimed at improving the profession and promoting professional autonomy.
