Warning to hearing aid dispensers (to comply with the U.S. Food and 
Drug Administration (FDA) regulations)

Hearing  aid  dispenser  should  advise  a  prospective  hearing  aid  user  to 
consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) 
before dispensing a hearing aid if the hearing aid dispenser determines 
through  inquiry,  actual  observation,  or  review  or  any  other  available 
information  concerning  the  prospective  user,  that  the  prospective  user 
has any of the following conditions:
i. Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
ii. History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
iii. History  of  sudden  or  rapidly  progressive  hearing  loss  within  the 

previous 90 days.

iv. Acute or chronic dizziness.
v. Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 

90 days.

vi. Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500 

hertz (Hz), 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz.

vii. Visible  evidence  of  significant  cerumen  accumulation  or  a  foreign 

body in the ear canal.

viii. Pain or discomfort in the ear.

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  otorhinolaryngologists. 
The  purpose  of  medical  evaluation  is  to  assure  that  all  medically 
treatable  conditions  that  may  affect  hearing  are  identified  and  treated 
before the hearing aid is purchased.

37

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.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids 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 its use is strongly discouraged.

Children with hearing loss

In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a child with 
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.  An 
audiologist  is  qualified  by  training  and  experience  to  assist  in  the 
evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.
