Action | Performance of cerumen management by audiologists |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 1/29/2016 |
Although the current emergency regulations are an improvement over the original regulations established nearly a year ago, I consider the regulations to be unusually and unnecessarily restrictive. Specifically:
Access to the ear canal (and professional management of all aspects of complications that interfere with that) is the cornerstone of literally everything we do professionally. I urge the Board of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology to continue to revise these Regulations to be less restrictive to audiologists performing safe cerumen management.
Thank you.
