Professionals in the hearing healthcare industry must follow a code of ethics. Ethical guidelines can vary based on experiences and perspectives; therefore, each practice should create their own specific code of ethics. These should be based on professional organization’s guidelines such as the American Academy of Audiology or the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. This course will discuss the difference between laws and ethics and the purpose of an ethics protocol in a hearing healthcare practice. An ethical decision-making matrix was also reviewed.
