IMPORTANT NOTICE
FOR PROSPECTIVE HEARING AID USERS (cont’d):
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you
a written statement that states that your hearing loss has
been medically evaluated and that you may be considered
a candidate for a hearing aid. The physician will refer you to
an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for
a hearing aid evaluation.
The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a
hearing aid evaluation 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.
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 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.
