Audiologist Business Cards for AuD and CCC-A Licensed Hearing Specialists

Audiologists are the doctoral-level specialists in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of hearing loss, tinnitus, balance disorders, auditory processing disorders, and related communication challenges. Audiologists hold the AuD (Doctor of Audiology) degree, complete a clinical externship, and obtain the CCC-A (Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology) from ASHA, along with state audiology licensure. They practice in hospitals, ENT clinics, private practices, schools, cochlear implant programs, veterans' hospitals, and pediatric centers.

What Audiologist Cards Include

Your Credentials and Certifications

• AuD (Doctor of Audiology) — the entry-level professional degree for audiologists (since approximately 2012 for most new graduates); a 4-year doctoral program following an undergraduate degree; the primary clinical doctorate in audiology
• CCC-A (Certificate of Clinical Competence in Audiology) — ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association); the primary national credential for audiologists; requires AuD completion, supervised clinical experience, and passing the national PRAXIS examination in Audiology
• ASHA member (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association) — the primary professional organization for audiologists and SLPs
• AAA member (American Academy of Audiology) — the audiology-specific professional organization; many audiologists belong to both ASHA and AAA
• FAAA (Fellow, American Academy of Audiology) — AAA fellowship; peer-recognized distinction
• ABA member (Academy of Doctors of Audiology) — private practice audiology organization
• BCiA (Board Certified in Audiology) — ABA; alternative board certification
• State Audiology License — required for independent practice in all states

Specialty certifications:

• Cochlear Implant Specialty Certification — ACIA (Academy of Cochlear Implant Audiology)
• Tinnitus Management Certification — various programs; American Tinnitus Association (ATA); TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy) trained
• VNG/ENG trained (Vestibular testing)
• CAPD assessment training (Central Auditory Processing Disorder)

Hearing instrument dispensing:

• HIS (Hearing Instrument Specialist) — separate dispensing license required in many states for fitting hearing aids; audiologists typically hold this as part of or alongside their audiology license
• IHS member (International Hearing Society) — for hearing instrument specialists and dispensing audiologists
