AI Summary

  • Requires licensed hearing aid dispensers and dispensing audiologists to provide purchasers with a copy of a consumer hearing aid disclosure upon sale of a hearing aid, effective July 1, 2017.

  • Mandates the Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology and Hearing Aid Dispensers Board to develop and publish a consumer hearing aid disclosure on its Internet website before July 1, 2017, including information about telecoils (audio switches) and assistive listening systems.

  • Requires the board to update the consumer hearing aid disclosure as it deems necessary.

  • Violation of these requirements is a crime, but the state provides no reimbursement to local agencies or school districts because the costs result from creating a new crime.
