Subject: Vote Yes on S 700 Amendment 172640
Dear Senator,
This letter is written in support of S 700 Amendment 172640. PERSONALIZE HERE
Audiologists care about doing what is right for Floridians with hearing loss and we believe you do too. By passing Amendment 172640, you would maintain the consumer protections that are in place to prevent predatory practices against our most vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly. The addition of the amendment ensures that people with hearing loss will receive the evaluations necessary prior to the purchase of a prescribed hearing aid and the fitting necessary to verify that the prescribed hearing aid is doing what it is intended to do. Thank you for caring about the people we care for everyday!
I unequivocally support Amendment 172640. Please vote YES on this amendment.
