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 otorhinolaryngologists. 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 medically evaluated and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing
aid. The physician will refer you to an audiologist or a hearing care professional, as appropriate, for a
hearing aid evaluation.
The audiologist or hearing care professional will conduct a hearing aid evaluation to assess your ability
to hear with and without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or hearing
care professional to select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs.
If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplification, you should inquire about the
availability of a trial-rental or purchase-option program. Many hearing care professionals now offer
Warnings to Hearing Aid Dispensers (US only)
