The Hearing Aid Specialist profession is regulated by the government and/or a quasi-governmental agency or body, depending on locality, throughout the United States and Canada. The International Hearing Society (IHS) does not issue and/or govern the license/registration to practice as a Hearing Aid Specialist; that lies with the agencies listed below. 

Questions about licensing requirements including trainee/apprentice permits, exam approvals, continuing education requirements, and scope of practice should be directed to your local licensing agency. 

Please select your state or province for the contact information for the applicable licensing agency. IHS makes every effort to ensure this information is up to date, but cannot guarantee its accuracy.
