IMPORTANT NOTICE TO 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
a 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 which states that your hearing loss has been evaluated medi-
cally and that you may be considered for a hearing aid. The physician
may refer you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser for a hearing aid
evaluation.
The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid evalu-
ation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing aid. The
hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to select and
fit a hearing aid to your individual needs.
