(a) Any person who practices the fitting and sale of hearing instruments shall deliver to each person supplied with a hearing instrument a receipt which shall contain the licensee's or apprentice's signature and show his or her business street address and the number of his or her license or permit, together with specifications as to the make and model of the hearing instrument furnished and the full terms of sale clearly stated. If an instrument which is not new is sold, the receipt and the container thereof shall be clearly marked as "used" or "reconditioned," whichever is applicable, with terms of guarantee, if any.
(b) Such receipt shall bear in no smaller type than the smallest used in the body copy portion the following:
"The purchaser has been advised at the outset of his or her relationship with the hearing instrument apprentice, fitter, or dispenser that any examination(s) or representation(s) made by a licensed hearing instrument apprentice, fitter, or dispenser in connection with the fitting and selling of this hearing instrument(s) is not an examination, diagnosis, or prescription by a person licensed to practice medicine in this state and, therefore, must not be regarded as medical opinion or advice."
(c) Any person engaging in the fitting and sale of hearing instruments shall ascertain whether a person under the age of 18 has been examined by a physician for his or her recommendation to be fitted with a hearing instrument within six months prior to the fitting. If such not be the case, no hearing instrument shall be sold to such person until such an examination is made.
