Hearing and Speech Rehabilitation is a new specialty under medical technology. It includes two independent subjects abroad, Audiology and Speech-Language pathology, and their training systems, degree systems and qualification systems are all different. It also developed into two branches in China. The audiology personnel training formed two different modes, the medical mode and the science mode. According to current professional orientation and demand for talents, it is needed to establish an academic organization for professional education as soon as possible and develop the undergraduate education standards for the science mode. It is important to pay attention to the knowledge and skills related to medicine and the post competency in training. It is necessary to take advantage of the characteristics of the specialty to enhance the university-enterprise cooperation and focus on the combination of production, education and research.
