The Journal of the American Academy of Audiology (JAAA) is the Academy's scholarly peer-reviewed publication, issued 10 times a year and available online at no cost to Academy members as a benefit of membership. The journal publishes articles and clinical reports in all areas of audiology, including audiological assessment, amplification, aural habilitation and rehabilitation, auditory electrophysiology, vestibular assessment, and hearing science.
The mission of the Accreditation Commission for Audiology Education (ACAE), an autonomous organization, is "to assure the public that only those programs that have complied with this agency's standards and that graduate competent audiologists trained at the Au.D. level will be accredited." The ACAE also assures its communities of interest that graduates of ACAE accredited programs will be able to function according to the national scope of practice as defined by the profession. ACAE accreditation recognizes, reinforces, and promotes the highest quality in AuD educational programs through a rigorous verification process.
The mission of the American Academy of Audiology Foundation is to promote philanthropy in support of research, education, and public awareness in audiology and hearing science. The Foundation’s programs and initiatives impact audiologists, audiology doctoral students, consumers, and those with hearing impairments and balance disorders. Our portfolio of research grants, educational humanitarian, and public awareness scholarships, lectureships and more strive to broaden the knowledge base and understanding of the impact hearing loss and balance problems have on an individual. Our mission areas of public awareness, research, and education attempt to address these issues across the spectrum through improved understanding of normal hearing and balance processes to determine effective treatment of deficits when they occur.

This model is designed to aid viewing of the entire ear including the ear canal, middle ear components such as the tympanic membrane and auditory ossicles, and inner ear components such as the semicircular canals and Cochlea. All three bones that make up the auditory ossicles are represented in clear detail; malleus, incus, and stapes. Model size: 2-3/4" x 2-1/4" x 2-1/2". This unique ear model also comes with a white stand and an educational card which explains in greater detail the many components of the human ear. Card size: 6-1/2" x 5-1/4"
The Baha System utilizes your body’s natural ability to conduct sound.
Bone, like air, can conduct sound vibrations. For people with hearing loss, this provides another pathway to perceive sound. Typical hearing aids rely on air conduction and a functioning middle ear.
In cases where the middle ear function is blocked, damaged or occluded, the Baha system may be a better option as it bypasses the outer and middle ear altogether. Instead, sound is sent around the damaged or problematic area, naturally stimulating the cochlea through bone conduction.
When someone has lost most of the hearing in one ear, but has normal hearing on the other side, the Baha system works to reroute sound to the better ear. It uses our body's natural ability to conduct sound through bone to deliver the signal to the better hearing ear.
Once the cochlea receives these sound vibrations, the organ 'hears' in the same manner as through air conduction; the sound is converted int...
