1. 1A Mississippi hearing aid specialist drafts the required bill of sale with the seller's identification, make and model, serial number, and charge. Which additional disclosure does section 73-14-13 expressly require?

   1. A. The aid's warranty status as full, limited, or expired at delivery
   2. B. The aid's trial period as thirty, sixty, or ninety days after delivery
   3. C. The aid's payment method as cash, financed, or leased at delivery
   4. D. The aid's condition as new, used, or rebuilt when furnished to the buyer

   Answer: D

   Explanation: Section 73-14-13 directs that the bill of sale "shall also reveal the condition of the hearing device and whether it is new, used or rebuilt." D states that express condition disclosure. Warranty status, trial period, and payment method may be commercially relevant, but none supplies the new/used/rebuilt entry the cited section requires.

   Reference: Mississippi Legislature HB 246, official text of Hearing Aid Dealers Chapter — Miss. Code Ann. §73-14-13, final sentence in HB 246

2. 2A Mississippi dispenser is deciding whether a custom earmold is regulated as part of a hearing aid. How do the state rules classify it?

   1. A. It is included as a hearing-aid part or accessory
   2. B. It is excluded as a telephone device
   3. C. It is excluded as a battery-related supply
   4. D. It is regulated only when sold wholesale

   Answer: A

   Explanation: Rule 6.1.3(3) defines a hearing aid to include "parts, attachments or accessories, including ear molds." The custom earmold is therefore included.

   Reference: Msdh Hearing Aid Regulations — Rule 6.1.3(3), page 1

3. 3The Board revokes a Mississippi hearing aid specialist's license after a disciplinary proceeding unrelated to child support. Under the statute, where and within what period may the specialist appeal the revocation?

   1. A. Within thirty days to the chancery court in the county of the licensee's residence
   2. B. Within twenty days to the chancery court in the county of the licensee's residence
   3. C. Within thirty days to the circuit court in the county of the licensee's residence
   4. D. Within sixty days to the chancery court in the county of the licensee's residence

   Answer: A

   Explanation: Section 73-14-39 provides that "the person charged may, within thirty (30) days thereof, appeal to the chancery court of the county of the residence of the licensee." Current Rule 6.8.7 preserves appeal "in the manner provided for in the Act and the Laws of the State of Mississippi." Thus A has both the specified court and period; B and D use the wrong period, while C names the wrong court.

   2. B. They are expressly excluded from the hearing-aid definition
   3. C. They are hearing aids only when bundled together
   4. D. They are prescription hearing aids

   Answer: B

   4. D. A wholesaler who transfers devices only to distributors

   Reference: Msdh Hearing Aid Regulations — Rule 6.1.3(4), page 1

6. 6A licensee measures hearing with an audiometer and then selects a device intended to compensate for the loss. How do Mississippi rules describe this work?

   1. A. It is solely device manufacturing
   2. B. It is audiology regardless of licensure
   3. C. It is an exempt wholesale transaction
   4. D. It is the practice of dispensing and fitting hearing aids

   4. D. Providing a telephone listening device

   Answer: A

8. 8A clinic transfers a hearing aid to a consumer under a lease rather than transferring title. Is that transaction a sale under the Mississippi rule?

   2. B. Yes, a transfer of the right to use by lease is included
   3. C. No, unless the lease lasts more than one year
   4. D. Yes, but only if a distributor is the lessee

   Answer: B

   Explanation: Rule 6.1.3(6) states that sale includes "any transfer of title or of the right to use by lease, bailment or any other contract." The consumer lease is included.

   Reference: Msdh Hearing Aid Regulations — Rule 7.10.24

9. 9A manufacturer transfers hearing aids wholesale to a distributor. Which part of Mississippi's sale definition controls the transaction?

   4. D. The inclusion of a right to use by bailment

   Answer: C

   Explanation: Rule 6.1.3(6) includes title, lease, and bailment transfers but expressly says "excluding wholesale transactions with distributors or dealers." The wholesale-party relationship makes the exclusion controlling.

    3. C. The wholesale-sale exclusion
    4. D. The measurement-without-sales activity is outside the Act
