HEARING AID SALESMEN
League Seeks Registration (N.Z. Press Association) WHANGAREI, April 13. The board of governors of : the New Zealand League for the Hard of Hearing will approach the Health Department i urging it to initiate a registra- ; tion scheme for hearing aid i salesmen. A remit to this effect was i passed when the league held . its 32nd annual conference in , Whangarei on Saturday. Mr G. J. A. Wilson, the ■ president of the Whangarei . branch had made similar requests to the department in ; the past, without success. i “Instances of unethical be- ■ behaviour are still occurring,” i he said. “In a democratic country like New Zealand it would be 1 undesirable to prevent a pri- ; vate individual selling hearing aids, but on the other hand it would not be an infringement of democratic 1 principle to ensure that the salesman do so in a fair and proper way,” Dr. Wilson said. Government registration could be a safeguard, in that the individual salesman would need to gain a certain standard of knowledge and ethics before he could be registered.
