How is a registrant defined?

• A. A hearing aid dealer who has never been registered.
• B. A fitter who operates without a certificate.
• C. A person who uses hearing aids but is not registered.
• D. A hearing aid dealer or fitter holding a current certificate of registration.

Answer: (D)

In Pennsylvania, a registrant is someone who is authorized to operate as a hearing aid dealer or fitter, demonstrated by holding a current certificate of registration. This certificate shows they’ve met the required licensing standards and kept their registration active. That means only those who actually hold and maintain a valid certificate are considered registrants. A dealer who has never registered isn’t authorized to operate, a fitter working without a certificate isn’t a registrant, and a person who simply uses hearing aids without being registered isn’t in the dealer or fitter category. The key point is the active, current certificate of registration for either a dealer or a fitter.
