Audiologists

Our audiologists have achieved either a Masters or a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree. All of our audiologists are certified by the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Speech and Language Pathologists and Audiologists as well as the North Carolina State Hearing Aid Dealers and Fitters Board. The audiologists are members of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and/or the American Academy of Audiology (AAA). The credentials after their names represent the two leading professional organizations for audiologists. Members of ASHA are credentialed with the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology (CCC-A). AAA members are known as the Fellows of the American Academy of Audiology (F-AAA). Both organizations are internationally recognized to represent a level of excellence and the audiologists are expected to uphold these standards and abide by the Code of Ethics.
