To become licensed as a New York State speech-language pathologist or audiologist, you must complete experience as stated above. You are exempt from licensure for professional practice completed as part of this requirement. If your experience is just beginning, or has begun, an acknowledgement (Form 6 - Acknowledgement or Supervisory Plan for Licensure in Speech-Language Pathology) may be issued from the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Board Office. If you and/or your employer wish to have a Form 6 issued, you must file an application for licensure, submit the fee, have your school document completion of your educational program, and submit Identification of Supervisor and Setting (Form 4A). Once the Office of the Professions has received and approved all this documentation, the State Board can issue the Form 6. It is acceptable to complete your experience outside New York State as long as your supervisor is certified by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA).
The audiometry tests are conducted in a quiet soundproof room (Fig. 3). Earphones will be placed on your head. You will be asked to sit still and not talk. The earphones are connected to a machine that will deliver the tones and different sounds of speech to your ears, one ear at a time. The audiologist will ask you to raise your hand when you hear a sound. For example, if you hear a sound with your left ear, raise your left hand; if you hear a sound with your right ear, raise your right hand. At some facilities, you may be asked to push a button or make some other sign that you have recognized a sound. The audiologist will record each tone at the lowest possible volume that you were able to hear it. Before or after the general audiometry test, tuning forks are also used to conduct the Rinne and Weber tests. Each test evaluates the potential for different kinds of hearing loss.
