Mission Statement

A Society of Ethics

Founded in 1948, the society and its members subscribe to the international Hearing Society Code of Ethics. This code sets standards of professional integrity and practice including relationships with patients, colleagues and the general public. Adherence to these standards is required for membership in MHHP and is set forth to assure public confidence in hearing aid dispensers.

This code of ethics includes, but is not limited to, standards related to truth in advertising, thorough and ethical services related to testing, fitting and counseling. The member has the duty to observe all laws and regulations applicable to the dispensing of hearing instruments. Each member is required to uphold the dignity and honor of their profession.

The Minnesota Hearing Healthcare Providers, Inc. is a non-profit organization comprised of voting members whose principal activity is dispensing of hearing instruments or work in a related field. In addition, membership also includes non-voting members engaged in other than retail dispensing of hearing instruments.

MHHP is governed by a board of directors consisting of a president, vice-president, secretary/treasurer and four directors, all elected by the voting membership.

As professionals whose full-time focus is on hearing instrument dispensing, MHHP members are uniquely qualified to provide hearing aids and related services to their patients. Many are also certified by the National Board for Certification in Hearing Instrument Sciences. All members must obtain a minimum of ten (10) continuing education units (CEU's) each year. Consumers are encouraged to purchase their hearing instruments through MHHP members.
