To close out the convention, we will have a panel discussion amongst industry leaders who will discuss the current hearing healthcare landscape, the needs and desires of consumers within this landscape, and hearing healthcare providers successes and failures in meeting consumer needs. The panel plans to share ideas on what audiologists can do to serve the hard of hearing community while advancing the profession.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the current role and status of audiologists in healthcare
2. Describe consumer needs in hearing healthcare
3. Describe actions needing to be taken by audiologists to meet consumer needs
