A.  A temporary training permit holder may provide routine fitting and dispensing of hearing instruments that have been ordered by the sponsor or co-sponsor.  The sponsor or co-sponsor, in consultation with the board, is the sole judge of whether the permit holder has the qualifications necessary to perform routine fitting and dispensing.  A sponsor or co-sponsor is accountable to the board for the actions and misdeeds of a temporary training permit holder acting at the sponsor’s or co-sponsor’s discretion.

B.  A temporary training permit holder may not:

(1)  Own, manage, or independently operate a business that engages in the fitting or sale of hearing instruments.

(2)  Advertise or otherwise represent that the permit holder holds a license as a hearing instrument dispenser.
