The Academy gives audiologists a clear identity and provides a means by which we

Commonwealth. The Academy is dedicated to the advancement of the Profession of
Audiology.
The following are just some of the benefits enjoyed by PAA members:
A significant reduction in registration fees for your continuing education at our regional workshops and annual convention.
A free listing of your office on the PAA web site directory (if you are a clinical provider) which is searchable by consumers.
On-line membership directory and other searches which serves as a very useful resource for referrals and networking.
Updates on the latest information concerning the Profession of Audiology within the Commonwealth will be provided to you via Email, Legislative Alerts, and through our AuDs and Endz Newsletter.
Representation of your ideas and the profession as we meet with insurance companies and legislatures to pro-actively move Audiology to an autonomous profession.
