FDA Ruling on OTC Hearing Aids

Demystifying New Jersey’s newly established Single Licensure law:
If you hold a current license to practice Audiology in the State of New Jersey and are in
good standing, you are automatically allowed to dispense hearing aids under that license
and do not need to retain a separate Hearing Aid Dispensing License.
If you plan to supervise any non-audiologist for a Hearing Aid dispensing License you
must retain your Hearing Aid Dispensing License and abide by the regulations for
supervising.
If you are a preceptor supervising students, they are functioning under your supervision
and subsequently your audiology license and therefore you are responsible for them in
their practice of hearing aids.
If you have specific questions please contact the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs.
