Hearing Aid Dispensing and Licensure Law in Virginia.
 

Please amend your statutes to reflect the higher level of education and training that is now required and achieved by audiologists.  Au.D. or doctors of audiology should be exempted from a separate hearing aid licensing law.  This has been the case in South Carolina for a number of years.
