FDA Information
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
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 not obtained a medical
evaluation from a licensed physician. Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver
statement declining the nominal fee after which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid
or medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. The
exercise of such waiver is not in your best interest and its use is strongly discouraged.
Children with Hearing Loss
In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a child with 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 hearing loss.
Your hearing care professional can answer any questions you may have about the identifying code on
your hearing aid.
