As an audiologist who has practiced in Maryland and Virginia for 27 years, I feel that it is unnecessary for audiologists to take the hearing aid dealers examination. I did not have to take an examination in Maryland in order to dispense hearing aids. I would also like to express my support by acknowleding that other states have long abandoned the need for either two licenses and/or minimally an audiologist having to take an exam for a dispensing license.
Sincerely,
