Bill backs audiologists bill in California to use “audiology”
Assemblywoman Marek Wang introduced legislation in Sacramento to help Castro Valley audiologist Hal Holland and two others use the term audiology in business names. The bill follows a last year law banning doctor or physician terms in hearing aid companies, which did not cover bona fide audiologists selling hearing devices. Holland, with a masters in audiology, ran Audiology Laboratory for six years and now uses Hearing Prosthetics after complying with a board demand. Mrs Fung defends qualified audiologists and questions punishing ethical advertising in professional practice.
