Members of the Texas Hearing Aid Association is suing Wal-Mart, accusing the retailer of selling hearing aids without a proper state license. The lawyer for the group says, "Wal-Mart knew it was required under Texas state law to become licensed in order to dispense hearing aids in Texas stores, yet the corporation has failed to take all necessary steps to ensure their ability to do so," Attorney Bill Chamblee of the Dallas-based Chamblee, Ryan, Kershaw & Anderson says, "When an individual suspects they have hearing loss, a licensed hearing professional will be able to give a complete examination of the patient's auditory health in order to detect infections and other problems that aren't addressed by simply wearing a hearing aid." Wal-Mart hasn't responded to the suit yet. here.
