Dispensing Of Hearing Aids CT

By Stacey Burt


Audiologists who are seeking to be hearing aid dispensers must get registration certificates. The governing law defines dispensers as individuals over twenty one or one who holds audiologist certificate under the law of education. It further states that he does the fitting, selects, rents, adapts and serves the hearing aids. There are qualifications that one must meet to get registration to dispense hearing aids CT.

You can apply to dispense hearing aids as a registered dealer or as an employee of a registered dealer. Applications are also accepted for licensed audiologists under the education law. First time applicants with less than a year of experience or no experience must provide several supporting documents as required in the application process.

The registration certificate is not a license to operate a business. You must apply for a business permit for this purpose. Should you think of expanding your business to another state, there is no direct issuance of a certificate of registration. Your application would be evaluated as any other application. You would need to demonstrate that you have fulfilled all the required steps.

You would be required to pay a fee for registration. The amount to pay would be determined by the Department of State. Cash payments are not accepted. You may pay with a check, money order or a credit card. There is a credit card authorization form for credit card payments. Any bounced checks attract a penalty of twenty dollars.

A licensed audiologist without experience must take a practical exam as approved by Department of State. First- time applicant must complete a twelve month training program, take and pass practical and written examination and course of instruction.

For continuing education, the dispensers must at least complete twenty hours of Department of State approved education. Two hours out of this time must be on infection control and a minimum one hour on state and Federal Law, professional conduct and regulations. The registrant must demonstrate that they have completed the expected topics. In order to participate in these tests, you may apply for a temporary certificate of registration that is valid for a year. The certificate may only be renewed once for another year with the supervision of registered hearing aid dispensers. The individual being trained must also apply for the temporary certificate.

The instruction course has practical and theory sections that are taught by State office approved instructor. The individual must also be approved by the education office. To be an instructor you may present your applications to the state office with twenty five dollars as a fee. You must have at least three years in the field working directly with hearing assists without an exception.

A-not-for-profit -Corporation must be registered with the Corporations Division of the Department of State to operate such a trade. Employees of such a corporation are except from registration application fees as long as they remain employees of not-for-profit Corporation and are not dispensing hearing assists for profit. The strict regulations are meant to ensure quality service and professionalism in this field.
