The Medicare Audiologist Access and Services Act (MAASA) is a bi-partisan-sponsored legislative bill—written and endorsed with a unified professional voice—that was introduced to the US House of Representatives on March 3, 2021, and to the US Senate on May 19, 2021. 

In the segment, This Week in Hearing, host Amyn Amlani, PhD, chats with Alicia Spoor, AuD, about (i) the current patient journey for those Medicare listeners who experience hearing loss, (ii) the tenets of this groundbreaking bill, and (iii) how MAASA would benefit patients and audiologists.  

There is also a discussion about the future role MAASA could play with predicted disruptions taking shape in the hear care space.
