Under what condition can a hearing aid dealer or fitter be exempted from continuing education requirements?

The condition that allows a hearing aid dealer or fitter to be exempted from continuing education requirements is when they are in good standing and in active military service. This provision recognizes the unique circumstances that active military personnel face, allowing them to serve their country without the added pressure of fulfilling continuing education obligations. It reflects a balance between maintaining professional competency and acknowledging the sacrifices made by those in military service. This exemption is a standard practice in various licensing boards and is intended to support professionals who are serving in the armed forces during their service period.
