I actually consider myself a former, or even never, audiologist. When I graduated in, um, '92(?) I could never get a CFY despite having completed the Starkey internship, presumably because of being a hearing aid user. After several years I got a job for an ENT who turned out to be a druggie, among his nicer traits. I then dumped audie altogether, but I still get some of the magazines, which meant that I saw the article in Advance for Audies this week. I'm now quite happy working in Vision, but I'm still interested in HAs and ALDs some; they were, after all, my first love.
 
Judging by the astonishing number of members of this group, and seeing that at least some members are practicing audies, I have to say that IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!! Even if it's too late for me.
 
Anyway, I probably won't be a member for long, but I really wanted to stick my nose in to say "Hey!" and to see what's going on.
