What is the purpose of the continuing education requirement for dealers and fitters?

The continuing education requirement for dealers and fitters is fundamentally aimed at ensuring they remain informed about advancements in technology. As the field of hearing aids and audiological services evolves, innovations in technology, best practices, and methodologies are continuously emerging. By participating in ongoing education, professionals can stay updated on new products, techniques, and regulatory changes that impact their work. This ultimately enhances their ability to provide high-quality care and service to clients who rely on them for necessary hearing solutions.

While networking, improving sales techniques, and maintaining historical records can be beneficial to professionals in various fields, they do not directly align with the primary goal of continuing education, which focuses on keeping dealers and fitters proficient and knowledgeable in a rapidly changing industry.
