Audiology Practice Standards Organization (APSO) is preparing to publish two draft standards for public review.
S3.2 Diagnostic Hearing Evaluation of the Pediatric Patient addresses the tasks performed by an audiologist when evaluating hearing in children.
S1.1 General Intake Standards was reviewed in 2024 and recommended for editing. The standard describes the intake process of general audiologists and an updated version will be available for review.Â
Both standards will be open for public review and comment Monday, March 24, 2025, through Friday, April 11, 2025. Any U.S. audiologist may review and comment on the standards and all comments are welcome.
APSO strives to create standards that describe the basic practices of all audiologists, are based in evidence, and are produced with the support of the entire profession.
APSO standards may be accessed and comments may be submitted at https://www.audiologystandards.org/standards/working.php.
APSO encourages reviewers to provide evidence-based comments that include a rationale for edits. All comments are read by subject matter experts and considered in creating a final draft of the standard.
