should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental
or purchase-option program. Many hearing aid
dispensers now offer 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. Federal law restricts the sale of
hearing aids to those individuals who have obtained
a medical evaluation from a licensed physician.
Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a
waiver statement declining the medical evaluation for
religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation
with a physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not
in your best health interest and its use is strongly
discouraged.
Children with Hearing Loss
In addition to seeing a physician for a 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 the 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.
