Abstract: Colding and Gabai have given an effective version of Li's theorem that non-Haken hyperbolic 3-manifolds have finitely many irreducible Heegaard splittings. As a corollary of their work, we show that Haken hyperbolic 3-manifolds have a finite collection of strongly irreducible Heegaard surfaces Si and incompressible surfaces Kj such that any strongly irreducible Heegaard surface is a Haken sum Si+sumjnjKj, up to one-sided associates of the Heegaard surfaces.
