Speech-Language Pathologists' Knowledge of, Exposure to, and Attitudes Toward Hearing Aids and Hearing Aid Wearers

A questionnaire concerned with various aspects of hearing aids was completed by 88 speech-language pathologists from West Virginia, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and Alabama. Results of their responses indicate some deficiencies in knowledge, exposure, and attitudes concerning hearing aids and hearing aid wearers. Implications and suggestions for graduate education and continuing education programs are discussed.
