Audiology.md standards
Advertising policy
Audiology.md keeps paid visibility separate from medical guidance, editorial judgment, and provider quality assessments.
What providers cannot purchase
Rankings or editorial recommendations
Payment does not determine provider rankings, editorial recommendations, or how Audiology.md describes clinical quality.
Influence over health guidance
Advertising relationships do not influence our hearing-health education or patient guidance.
How paid visibility is labeled
When a provider participates in paid visibility within the Audiology.md ecosystem, the placement is clearly labeled so patients can understand its nature.
Sponsored
Sponsored identifies paid promotional visibility or support.
Featured
Featured identifies a paid or enhanced placement that receives additional prominence.
A clear separation for patients and providers
Directory information, paid placements, and editorial content serve different purposes. We label paid visibility and preserve independent medical and editorial standards so patients can make informed decisions.
