This resolution recognizes the Georgia Academy of Audiology, highlighting the critical role of audiologists in addressing hearing and balance disorders. The resolution notes that approximately 60.7 million Americans experience hearing loss, with the number expected to double by 2060, and emphasizes the importance of audiologists who are licensed professionals with doctoral degrees specializing in identifying, assessing, and treating hearing and balance disorders. The Georgia Academy of Audiology is praised for its work in supporting audiologists through policy advocacy, continuing education, professional networking, and public awareness efforts about hearing health. The resolution also acknowledges that many of the Academy's members are affiliated with national professional organizations like the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA), and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Ultimately, the resolution commends the Georgia Academy of Audiology for its dedicated public service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide an official copy of the resolution to the organization.
