Children with hearing loss (US only)
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 because 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 hearing loss.

High sound pressure levels
Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing instrument(s) whose maximum sound
pressure level exceeds 132 dB SPL (with an IEC 60711:1981 occluded ear simulator), because there may
be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
