Methodology
How recognition works.
Every recognition is tied to a real clinic or professional and a public verification page.
Purchasing a paid Audiology Digital directory membership is not required to be considered for or receive an Audiology Digital award.
Eligibility and verification
Basic and paid directory clinics may be considered equally. A clinic must be verified before an award can be approved or published. Professional verification confirms identity, credentials and relevant clinic affiliations. An account, email address, clinic claim or paid membership alone does not establish recipient verification.
Selection and yearly evaluation
Candidates are reviewed against the published criteria for their category and award year. Only Audiology Digital Super Admin can approve and publish recognition. Each award is recorded for its specific year; recognition is not automatically renewed or extended to other locations in a clinic organization.
Corrections and revocation
Audiology Digital can correct recipient information and review an award when verification is withdrawn, credentials or clinic status change, or an award was issued in error. Revocation removes active recognition and badge availability, while the official verification page remains as a historical record showing that the award is no longer active.
