Warnings

If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplication, 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 qualied by training and experience to assist in the
evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.
