Participant characteristics (n = 235).

Audiology role attribution across clinical scenarios by discipline.
ASLP = Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology; PT = Physiotherapy; NSG = Nursing; CN = Clinical Nutrition; MLS = Medical Laboratory Sciences; MDI = Medical Diagnostic Imaging; EHS = Environmental Health Sciences; HCM = Health Care Management; OTH = Other. Grouped bar chart showing the proportion of respondents in each discipline who selected Audiology as responsible for the diagnosis of hearing loss, the diagnosis and/or management of balance disorders, and inclusion in multidisciplinary care for concurrent hearing loss and dizziness.
Fig 2.
Audiology scope-of-practice recognition across increasing clinical complexity.
Line graph illustrating the proportion of respondents selecting audiology across three clinical contexts: hearing-loss diagnosis, balance-disorder care and a multidisciplinary vignette involving concurrent hearing loss and dizziness. Data are shown separately for ASLP and non-ASLP disciplines to illustrate changes in SOP recognition with increasing clinical complexity.
Fig 3.
Predictors of full recognition of audiology SOP.
Forest plot showing adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals from a multivariable logistic regression model with full SOP recognition as the outcome. ASLP served as the reference discipline (not shown). Exact confidence intervals are reported in the text. Abbreviations as in Fig 1. The model additionally includes audiology awareness score, prior exposure to audiology (Yes vs No), and academic role (Student vs Faculty).
