NSSLHA & SAA


The SAA is the official student organization of the American Academy of Audiology and was created to provide a direct connection between the student and his/her future professional home and discipline.  The goal of the SAA is to provide students with a venue for information, resources, leadership, mentorship, and student-to-student networking opportunities as they progress through their educational programs and transition into professional status.

Tangible benefits student will receive by joining the SAA include:

- gives students a voice through participation in activities of the Academy (committees and task forces)

- Subscriptions to the Journal of the American Academy of Audiology (JAAA), Audiology Today (AT)

- Student rates for attendance at Audiology NOW!

- access to the registry of externship sites and Hear Careers and other resources via the Academy’s web pages (dedicated student sites and exclusive access areas of the Academy and SAA sites). 

All doctoral students in Audiology are eligible to join SAA.  Individual student dues are $55.00.

A local chapter of SAA is in the planning stages and will provide the important benefits of classmate interaction across classes, richer student life, community involvement, humanitarian efforts, etc.
