administrative regulation, the board shall register each applicant who satisfactorily
passes the examination. Thereupon the board shall issue to the applicant a license.
The license shall be effective for one (1) year.
Whenever the board determines that another state or jurisdiction has requirements
equivalent to or higher than those in effect pursuant to this chapter for practice of
selling or fitting of hearing instruments, and that such state or jurisdiction has a
program equivalent to or stricter than the program for determining whether
applicants pursuant to this chapter are qualified to sell or fit hearing instruments, the
board may issue a license to those applicants who hold current, unsuspended, and
unrevoked licenses to sell or fit hearing instruments in such other state or
jurisdiction upon application and successful completion of examination. No
applicant for a license pursuant to this subsection shall be required to submit to or
undergo any training or other procedure, other than the payment of fees and
examination pursuant to KRS 334.050 to 334.070. The holder of a license issued
under this subsection shall be registered in the same manner as holders of initial
licenses. The fee for licenses issued under this subsection shall be the same as the

revocation of licenses issued under this subsection shall be the same as for renewal,
suspension, and revocation of initial licenses.
Any applicant holding a master's degree in audiology licensed under KRS Chapter
334A or holding at least a master's degree from a recognized college or university
