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.

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.
