Specialists in Hearing Instruments Board
The purpose of the Board of Hearing Instrument Specialists is to administer and enforce the statutory authority and to monitor the needs of the consuming public. The Board examines and licenses all eligible candidates for entry into the profession of Hearing Instrument Dispensing. It recommends appropriate changes in the law to assure fairness and equality. The Board conducts formal hearings when necessary and prosecutes by due process any violators of KRS 334.
The Kentucky Licensing Board for Specialists in Hearing Instruments has recently filed an amendment to a regulation. You can view the proposed changes through the link below. In addition at the end of regulation, you will find instructions for the Public Hearing and Written Comments period.
