Is your "specialist" a trainee?

Florida Hearing Aid Specialist licenses are designated AS####. A trainee is designated AT####.  A Hearing Aid Specialist Trainee is required to have a Licensed Hearing Aid Specialists supervise various aspects of their training throughout the training process until they have sat for and passed the state licensing examination, and received their Florida Hearing Aid Specialist license. A trainee may do a fantastic job, but its up to you to make sure your trainee has the proper supervision to insure your safety and improve your outcome. So, if you're considering hearing help make sure your professional is Florida licensed (AS####), preferably Board Certified (BC-HIS), and if they're a trainee make sure their supervisor is on site.
