Warnings
WARNING: People
younger than 18 should go to
a doctor before using this.
People younger than 18 years old need
specialized care, and using this without a
medical evaluation may worsen impairment
or disability. A hearing aid user who is
younger than 18 should have a recent
medical evaluation from a doctor, preferably
an ear-nose-throat doctor (an ENT). Before
using this, a doctor should determine that
the use of a hearing aid is appropriate.
WARNING to Hearing
Aid Dispensers:
You should advise a prospective hearing
aid user to consult promptly with a doctor,
preferably an ear specialist such as an
ENT, before dispensing a hearing aid if
you determine through inquiry, actual
observation, or review of any other available
information concerning the prospective
user, that the prospective user has any of
the following conditions:
• Visible deformity of the ear, either
congenital or traumatic
• Fluid, pus, or blood coming out of the ear
within the previous 6 months
• Pain or discomfort in the ear
• History of excessive ear wax or suspicion
that something is in the ear canal
• Dizziness, either recent or long-standing
• Sudden, quickly worsening, or fluctuating
hearing loss within the previous 6 months
• Hearing loss or ringing (tinnitus) only
in one ear or a noticeable difference in
hearing between ears
• Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or
greater than 15 dB at 500 Hz, 1000 Hz,
and 2000 Hz
WARNING to Hearing Aid
Dispenser, Outputs over 132 dB SPL:
You should exercise special care in selecting
and fitting a hearing aid with a maximum
output that exceeds 132 dB SPL because
it may impair the remaining hearing of the
hearing aid user.
