Which of the following may be submitted to the committee for licensure eligibility?

• A. Proof of completion of a minimum of six months continuous or interrupted training within 24 months
• B. Proof of successful completion of a college curriculum in hearing aid selection and fitting approved by the committee or CHE
• C. Proof of successful completion of a masters degree in audiology from an ASHA-accredited college or university after Jan 1, 1993
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

In New Jersey, licensure eligibility can be demonstrated through multiple recognized pathways that show competence in hearing aid selection and fitting. The six-month training requirement—whether continuous or interrupted and completed within a 24-month window—offers a hands-on, practical track to prove capability in fitting and related duties. If you complete a college curriculum in hearing aid selection and fitting that is approved by the committee or by CHE, that formal education is recognized as meeting the education standard for licensure. A master’s degree in audiology from an ASHA-accredited program earned after January 1, 1993 provides an advanced, clinically oriented credential that the board accepts as meeting eligibility requirements. Because each of these routes is explicitly acceptable, all the listed paths may be submitted to the committee for licensure eligibility.
