"For the most part, we don't provide invasive services, dispense medications, or perform surgery," said James W. Hall III, PhD, a member of The Hearing Journal Editorial Advisory Board and adjunct professor of audiology at Nova Southeastern University and Salus University. "As a profession, we're way down on the risk list-certainly below medicine and dentistry, for sure."It's hard to determine exactly how common claims against hearing healthcare providers are. In the 1970s and 1980s, many audiologists belonged to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and used the same insurance carrier, so it was easier to track these numbers. (A 1993 ASHA Technical Report on liability and risk management found a total of 129 claims against audiologists and speech patho-logists from 1982 to 1993; 58% of those claims involved audiologists.)
