Audiologists in 36 states, many of which with large population bases, are allowed to dispense hearing aids under the terms of their audiology license and, as such, are not required to obtain a second license or complete a second qualifying examination.  This requirement for duplicate licensure can put an undue hardship on audiologists and can make employement in Virginia less attractive to the most sought after audiologists.  This requirement for iual licensure should be repealed.
