Registration To Dispense Hearing Aids CT

By Stacey Burt


Are you an audiologist seeking to start hearing aids business? You must be registered to operate such a business. The law clears the air by calling a dispenser anyone who has attained 21 years or one who is duly licensed as an audiologist under law governing education. It further says that the dispenser does the testing, fitting, does the selection, rents out, does adapt and services the hearing aids. Testing and having the hearing aids fitted are critical procedures in this field. Here are requirements for you to be registered as hearing aids CT dispenser.

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.

There is a fee that is paid to process your registration. The fee amount is determined by the relevant office in the State Office. You cannot pay in cash. However, money orders, checks and credit cards are accepted. You would need to fill the authorization form when using credit card for payment purposes. Any bounced check attracts a fee 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.

As a regulation there is continuing education set by the State Office for hearing aid dispensers. It is at least twenty hours two of which they must be taught on how to control infection and an extra hour of state and Federal regulation. They are also taught about professionalism and field regulations. Applicants are given a year long temporary registration certificate . This certificate can only be renewed once upon supervision by a registered hearing aid dispenser. Trainees may also apply for a temporary certificate.

The instruction course is taught by an instructor approved by both the education office and the State Office. The course has both practical and theory sections. Prospective instructors are invited to register for the certificate at a fee of twenty five dollars. They must have worked with these aids for at least three years.

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.
