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 because 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.
