How many references must a licensee give to a prospective hearing aid purchaser if there are medical problems involved?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer: (C)

When medical issues are involved, it’s essential to bring in medical input to protect the purchaser’s safety and aid informed decision-making. The licensee must provide multiple references to medical professionals so the buyer can obtain proper evaluation and clearance before moving forward. This ensures there is enough professional perspective to address any medical conditions that could affect hearing aid candidacy, device use, or required medical coordination. The goal is to strike a balance: enough input to cover medical concerns without creating unneeded burdens. Among the options, the middle choice reflects the amount of references intended to achieve that medical review.
