26. The Board shall each year assume, for each person with a hearing deficiency, the cost of earmolds or shell impressions, whether or not made of nonallergenic materials, for each ear fitted with a device. Their number shall be determined as follows:

(1)  under 6 years of age: 3 earmolds;

(2)  6 to 11 years of age: 2 earmolds;

(3)  12 to 18 years of age: 2 earmolds or shell impressions;

(4)  19 years of age or over: one earmold or shell impression;

(5)  (subparagraph replaced).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall assume that cost only when the earmold or shell is not in good working order.

The Board shall also assume, for each ear fitted with a device, the cost of the earmold which caused the initial allergy.

The costs that the Board assumes under the first and second paragraphs are determined in Division I of Part III of Schedule I of the Tariff for insured hearing aids and related services (chapter A-29, r. 8).
