The Association of VA audiologists would like to thank everyone who has served or is currently serving in the military. We are honored to have the privilege of working with Veterans everyday.

To our fellow members of AVAA,



Legislation has been proposed in the U.S. House of Representatives (H.R. 6612) and in the U.S. Senate (S. 785) which would require Hearing Instrument Specialists to be hired at all VA Medical Centers and require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to “prescribe the technical qualifications” of Hearing Instrument Specialists in the VA. These bills have the potential to completely change the way hearing healthcare is provided to our nation’s heroes as well as to possibly change the scope of practice for Hearing Instrument Specialists at the federal level. AVAA stands strongly opposed to this legislation as it will negatively impact Veteran’s hearing healthcare.



The American Academy of Audiology has provided information on these bills in their Legislative Action Center as well as providing a tool for you to directly contact your representatives with a pre-written template letter to voice your opposition as to why you and AVAA are against both bills.
