Is cerumen management in an audiologist’s scope of practice?
Cerumen management is in an audiologist’s scope of practice. Most audiologists, however, have not been taught cerumen management procedures. There will be a Position Statement or a PPG on cerumen management procedures in 2001. Until that time, it is strongly recommended that cerumen management not be attempted without prior instruction either by an audiologist or a physician. Please refer to the Profession Misconduct Regulations for more information.
