Warning to hearing care professional
A hearing care professional should advise a prospective user to consult promptly with a licensed physi-
cian (preferably an ear specialist) be fore setting the instrument if the hearing care professional determines
through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other available information concerning the prospective
user that the prospective user has any of the following conditions:
(i) visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear;
(ii) history of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days;
(iii) history of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days;
(iv) acute or chronic dizziness;
(v) unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days;
(vi) audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15dB at 500 Hz (hertz), 1000 Hz, and
2000 Hz;
(vii) visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal;
(viii) pain or discomfort in the ear.
Important notice to prospective users
Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss has a medical evaluation by a licensed
physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before using a hearing aid such
as the Beltone Origin. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as
otolaryngologists, otologists, or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of a medical evaluation is to assure
that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated before the hearing
instrument is used.
