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 purchas-
ing 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 hear-
ing 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 med-
ically 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 evalua-
tion .
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 audiolo-
gist or dispenser to select and fit a hearing aid to your individual
needs .
If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplifica-
tion, you should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental or
purchase-option program . Many hearing aid dispensers now of-
fer 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 .
