Important notice for prospective hearing aid users

Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss

have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a

physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing

a hearing aid. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the

ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists, or otorhi-

nolaryngologists. The purpose of medical evaluation is to assure

that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are

identified and treated before the hearing aid is purchased.

Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a

written statement that states that your hearing loss has been med-

ically evaluated and that you may be considered a candidate for

a hearing aid. The physician will refer you to an audiologist or a

hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation.

The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid

evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hear-

ing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or

dispenser to select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs.

If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplifica-

tion, you should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental or

purchase-option program. Many hearing aid dispensers now of-

fer programs that permit you to wear a hearing aid for a period of

time for a nominal fee after which you may decide if you want to

purchase the hearing aid.
