IMO, complete your CFY, get your C's and then if you still want to do audiology, go for it! You've spent two long, hard years getting your Master's; you owe it to yourself to at least give SLP a shot in a non-academic setting. They're also positions as a SLP that incorporate knowledge of hearing disorders (like an Auditory-Verbal Therapist).

Just a thought.

You'll have to do the same program that everyone does. By that, I mean, none of your Master's SLP credits count for anything in the AuD program. I highly suggest finishing your porgram in its entirety. You might get into Audiology and hate it. At least you'll have a backup plan, not to mention, it can't really hurt to be double certified.
