Mr David Colin Fisher

During the course of your employment as a Hearing Aid Dispenser employed by Hidden Hearing Limited, you:

1. Entered a full audiogram on the system on 14 February 2012 for Service User A even though you had not given him a full hearing test.

2. Asked Colleague A to pre-date a fitting receipt upon learning of Service User B's death on 17 May 2012.

3. Asked Colleague B to store the unfitted aids belonging to Service User B in a drawer rather than sending them back to Head Office within the refund period.

4. On 22 May 2012 you sold two hearing aids to Service User C and you:

a) did not ask the service user about insurance;

b) did not check company records to see if the service user had insurance;

c) processed the sale as two replacements which would have earned you commission of £1,222 at the rate of 30% on the price of both hearing aids rather than as insurance claims which would have earned you 12.5% on the price of the aids;

d) gave documents belonging to Service User C including valid insurance certificates for hearing aids to Colleague B to shred.

5. On 22 May 2012 you sold two hearing aids to Service User D and you:

a) did not ask the service user about insurance;

b) did not check company records to see if the service user had insurance;

c) processed the sale as two replacements which would have earned you commission of £1,540 at the rate of 30% on the price of both hearing aids, rather than dealing with one of the hearing aids as an insurance claim which would have earned you a commission of 12.5% on the price of that aid;

d) gave documents belonging to Service User D including insurance documents relevant to hearing aids to Colleague B to shred.

6. Your actions at paragraphs 1 –5 were dishonest.

7. The matters described in paragraphs 1 - 5 constitute misconduct.

8. By reason of your misconduct your fitness to practise is impaired.
