Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you
a written statement that your hearing loss has been medically
evaluated and that you may be considered a candidate for
hearing instruments.
The physician will refer you to an Audiologist or Hearing Care
Provider, as appropriate, for a hearing instrument evaluation.
The Audiologist or Hearing Care Provider will conduct a
hearing instrument evaluation to assess your ability to hear
with and without hearing instruments. The hearing instrument
evaluation will enable the Audiologist or Hearing Care Provider
to select and fit hearing instruments for 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Audiologists
or Hearing Care Providers now offer programs that permit
you to wear a hearing instrument for a period of time for a
nominal fee after which you may decide if you want to
purchase the hearing instrument.
Only those fully informed adults who have either obtained
medical evaluation from a licensed physician or signed
a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation for
religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with
a physician may purchase hearing instruments. The exercise
of such a waiver is not in your best health interest and its use is
strongly discouraged.
Warning to Audiologists or
Hearing Care Providers
An Audiologist or Hearing Care Provider should advise a
prospective hearing instrument user to consult promptly
with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before
dispensing a hearing instrument if the Audiologist or Hearing
Care Provider determines 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:
