1. Applicants may obtain a license by successfully passing a qualifying examination, if
the applicant:
a. Is at least eighteen years of age.
b. Is of good moral character.

c. Has an education equivalent to a four-year course in an accredited high school.
d. Is free of contagious or infectious disease.
2. The applicant for license by examination shall appear at a time, place, and before such
persons as the board designates, to be examined by means of written and practical
tests to demonstrate that the applicant is qualified to practice the fitting and sale of
hearing instruments. The examination administered as directed by the board
constituting standards for licensing may not be conducted in such a manner that
college training is required to pass the examination. The examination may not imply
that the applicant must possess the degree of medical competence normally expected
of physicians.
3. The board shall give examinations once a year at a time and place designated by the
board and may give more frequent examinations if deemed necessary by the board.
4. In addition to all other fees, the fee for an examination to determine qualifications for
license must be set by the board.
