26. The Commission assumes the replacement cost of a remote control for a hearing device if the control has been used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and the Commission gave prior authorization for the control.
That authorization is given by the Commission if the warranty period for the remote control has expired and a written document from a hearing aid acoustician substantiating that it cannot be repaired is provided to the Commission.
The Commission also gives that authorization if the worker’s hearing device was replaced in accordance with section 23.
