3.05.03. A hearing-aid acoustician must safeguard his professional independence at all times and avoid any situation in which he would be in conflict of interest. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing, a hearing-aid acoustician is in conflict of interest when the interests in question are such that he might tend to favour certain of them over those of his patient or whereby his judgment and loyalty towards the latter may be unfavourably affected.
Despite the first paragraph, a hearing-aid acoustician does not put himself in a conflict of interest situation in establishing a system of appointment reminders for his patients to avoid their wearing hearing-aids that have become inadequate or incorrectly adjusted.
