Abstract
We surveyed audiologists and students to elicit opinions and information regarding the Audiology Oath. Fewer than half of respondents were aware of the oath. The oath was shared with all surveyed; over 85% of respondents agreed with the components of the oath and less than 13% offered changes. White coat and graduation ceremonies are considered appropriate for oath recitation. We hope that whenever the Audiology Oath is recited it will strengthen commitment to ethical practice.
