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 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. An audiologist is qualified by training
and experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of
a child with a hearing loss.
