Professionals who earned the ACA designation enhanced their ability to better serve individuals with hearing loss through the 13-month course and subsequent practicum. The program’s objective was to provide an educational opportunity for those who engage in hearing aid dispensing and ensure that they practice at an advanced professional, technical, and ethical level.
The Advanced Hearing Aid Professional (AHAP) Program is an advanced training pathway that helps hearing healthcare professionals elevate their clinical skills, expand their knowledge of hearing aid technology, and earn the AHAP designation—a respected credential that signifies professional excellence.

However, AHAP was designed to update the educational offering with a more modern curriculum. ACA graduates are encouraged to enroll in the AHAP and will receive advanced standing in recognition of their prior coursework. Learn more about the AHAP program!
