cian 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. Am audiologist is qualified by training and
experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a

Welcome to Better Hearing
Congratulations! You are about to enter a new world of
better hearing.
As you become familiar with your hearing instrument,
you will be able to live a fuller life enjoying sounds of
your environment, your family and friends.
Please keep in mind that learning to use your hearing
instrument requires a period of adjustment and patience.
The adjustment period varies for each individual
depending on your dedication and motivation.
Remember that just as hearing loss generally occurs
over time, it may take time to get used to the sounds

your family with your new instrument and ask them to
work with you and to be patient as you rediscover sound
you haven’t heard for awhile.
Important Notice to Hearing Instrument Users
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing instruments 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 it’s use is strongly discouraged.
According to law, your hearing care provider must advise all
prospective hearing instrument users to consult promptly with a
licensed physician ( preferably an otolaryngologist or ear
specialist) before dispensing an instrument if he or she observes
or detects any of the following conditions:
Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90
days.
Acute or chronic dizziness.
Unilateral hearing loss ( hearing significantly better in one ear
than the other).
Audiometric test results which may indicate the need for medical
attention
Visible evidence of significant cerumen (earwax) or foreign body
in the ear canal.
Pain or discomfort in either or both ears
