IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR 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 otorhynolaryngologists .
The purpose of the 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 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 hearing aid dispenser, as
appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation .
