Born from a thorough review of audiology's history and current challenges, Audiology 2050 seeks to address long-standing gaps, such as expanding audiologists' scope of practice, improving reimbursement structures, and enhancing legislative advocacy, including initiatives like MAAIA.

As Dr. Amlani and Dr. Leyendecker highlight, achieving this future requires a collective effort across the profession. From advancing telehealth services to evolving licensure and training standards, they discuss the need for unified action and grassroots involvement. With a focus on professional activism and legislative progress, the Audiology 2050 initiative aims to empower audiologists to meet the growing demand for hearing care, benefiting both the profession and the millions of people it serves.
