The Educational Audiology Association (EAA) Position Statement defines recommended professional practices for Educational Audiology. The Educational Audiology Association (EAA) states:
"Hearing loss has grave implications for the educational progress and success of the individual child and for the educational system. Audiologic services for support of children with hearing loss were mandated in the public schools as early as 1975 (PL94-142). Although clinical diagnostic audiology services are essential in the schools, it is clear that educational audiology services also involve planning and delivery of (re)habilitation services following diagnosis. Unique to educational audiology are skills such as analyzing instructional listening dynamics, recommending modifications for the school environment or programs and educating school personnel and parents to make instruction accessible to students with hearing loss for their academic and social success. The services of the educational audiologist are numerous and may vary considerably depending on location."
