The Boards of the American Academy of Audiology and the American Academy of Audiology Foundation recognize that our membership is dealing with myriad challenges as a result of the coronavirus. We know that audiologists across the country are doing their best to serve their patients, support their families, and follow state and federal recommendations to “flatten the curve”…and they may be feeling worried, anxious, or uncertain.
Both boards want to let our membership know that no one is facing these challenges alone. Together, we will come through a difficult time stronger than ever. We hear your concerns and are working tirelessly to make sure that audiologists receive the support they need from their professional association. We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to the effort. If you are in a position to help, we hope you’ll contact us. Most of all, we want our members to know that we hear you and we’re here for you!
