Action:
Hearing Aid Specialists Passing Exam Score Validity
Action 5808
General Information
| Action Summary |
The proposed amendment to the 18 VAC 80-20 is needed to allow applicants more time to pass all sections of the exam. Currently, applicants must pass all portions of the hearing aid specialist exam within nine months, or their passing scores expire and they must retake all portions of the exam. Under the new requirement, passing scores will remain valid for two years, which is consistent with other occupations, including opticians. |
