Audiologists are hearing health professionals who identify, diagnose and manage individuals with peripheral or central hearing loss, tinnitus and balance disorders. In some provinces/territories, audiologists are governed by a regulatory body and must meet regulatory requirements to practice.

Supportive personnel work collaboratively to support the treatment of clients of various populations. This collaborative approach can enhance the services provided by speech-language pathologists and audiologists (AUD).

With more than 5,000 members, the Canadian Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPA) is the only national body that supports and represents the professional needs of speech-language pathologists, audiologists and supportive personnel inclusively within one organization. Through this support, CASLPA champions the needs of people with communications disorders.
