Would a Audiology Hearing Aid business fall under article 517? Where we would need to use hospital grade MC & devices? I don't think it would fall under article 517, but just wanted some other opinions.

Are they just fitting and selling hearing aids?

If so then IMHO that occupancy would not fall under Article 517.

To me this would be similar to an ophthalmologist who just fits eyeglasses and contacts but does not perform any eye surgeries or procedures.

This would fall under the building usage classification and you should check with the AHJ.

FWIW, I agree with you and IMO it would not fall under article 517.

That is the way I see it also. They are just performing hearing test & supplying hearing aid. There is no surgery be done to my knowledge. Thanks for the replies.
