each person supplied with a hearing aid a receipt. The receipt

applicable.
(1m) A hearing instrument specialist is not required to deliver a receipt to a person supplied with a hearing aid if the supplied hearing aid is an over-the-counter hearing aid, as defined in
21 USC 360j (q).

(2) The receipt shall contain all of the following information,
that shall be set out in not less than 8-point type:
(a) The terms of the guarantee, if there is any given; and
(b) A statement that the purchaser has been advised by the

in this state and therefore must not be regarded as medical opinion or advice.
