AFA's Au.D.

[Robert Pluta]

Good one, Clark.

I've only been an audiologist for a handful of years. I agree there is
indeed, *lots* to learn and lots to keep up with. The process of
establishing the AuD is difficult. However...

--we are health care providers
--we are experts in hearing, hearing disorders, and aural rehab
--our patients call us *doctor* even when we introduce ourselves otherwise
--no one *really* cares what we call ourselves except audiology and ASHA;
not ENT, not John Q. Public.

We've got better things to haggle about than the AuD...like...mangled care!

Didn't Rome burn while Nero fiddled?
