Children with hearing loss
In addition to seeing a physician for medical
evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should be
directed to an audiologist for evaluation and
rehabilitation since hearing loss may cause
problems in language development and
educational and social growth of a child.
An audiologist is qualified by training and
experience to assist in the evaluation and
rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on
the order of a doctor, audiologist or other
hearing care practitioner licensed to dispense
hearing aids in your state-in accordance with all
applicable rules and regulations.
