Part of Our Commitment to Delivering the Highest-Quality Care
Recognizing her dedication to continuing education and clinical excellence, the American Academy of Audiology has named Audiopedics’ owner Dr. Shailashree C. Nanjundiah a 2025 Academy Scholar.
This marks Dr. Nanjundiah’s second consecutive receipt of the prestigious honor, underscoring her commitment to offering exceptional care through ongoing professional growth. Read on for more about what this recognition means — and why it matters for the patients and families we serve.
What Is an Academy Scholar?
The Academy Scholar designation is awarded to audiologists who complete at least 50 continuing education hours over a two-year period. This far exceeds the minimum requirement for licensure and reflects a strong commitment to staying current on emerging science, new technologies, and evolving clinical practices. Dr. Nanjundiah earned this distinction through rigorous coursework, advanced training, and participation in professional development opportunities between 2023 and 2024.
What Does This Mean for Audiopedics Patients?
At Audiopedics, nothing is more important to us than helping our community live better through healthier hearing. Just as we work to educate and empower our patients, we also prioritize staying well-informed ourselves. In an ever-changing industry, we know the critical importance of staying on the forefront of innovation and change.
This recognition isn’t just about a title. For us, it’s about giving you confidence that your provider stays current with the latest research and proven methods in audiology. It shows that Dr. Nanjundiah takes extra steps to keep her skills sharp and her approach up to date — so you receive care that reflects today’s best standards, not outdated practices.
This includes:
- Advanced hearing aid fitting methods tailored to individual needs
- Modern diagnostic tools for identifying hearing and balance issues
- Evidence-supported solutions for tinnitus management
- Modern patient communication strategies that support empowered decision-making
That translates into more accurate assessments, more tailored treatment options, and better long-term outcomes — whether the goal is hearing improvement or tinnitus relief.
Why Does Continuing Education Matter in Audiology?
Hearing care is a rapidly evolving field. Each year brings advances in hearing aid technology, expanded understanding of hearing disorders and potential connections to brain and body health, and best practices for patient engagement. Without continued education, even experienced providers risk falling behind.
Dr. Nanjundiah’s recognition as an Academy Scholar demonstrates a clear and consistent commitment to lifelong learning and clinical excellence. Patients benefit directly through more informed care, broader treatment options, and confidence that their audiologist is applying the latest standards and techniques.
