Chapter 20. Hearing Aid Specialists Regulations
1/29/2026

18VAC80-20-90. License renewal required.

A. Licenses issued under this chapter will expire two years from the license effective date.

B. The board will send a renewal notice to the licensee. Failure to receive this notice does not relieve the licensee of the obligation to renew. Prior to the expiration date shown on the license, each licensee desiring to renew a license must return to the board the appropriate fee as outlined in 18VAC80-20-70.

C. Any licensee who fails to renew within 30 days after the license expires will be required to apply for reinstatement.

D. The board may deny renewal of a license for the same reasons as the board may refuse initial licensure as set forth in Part II (18VAC80-20-30 et seq.) of this chapter or discipline a licensee as set forth in Part V (18VAC80-20-180 et seq.) of this chapter. The licensee is entitled to a review of such action. Review of such actions will be in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Process Act (§ 2.2-4000 et seq. of the Code of Virginia).

Statutory Authority
