Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing aid. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of the medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid is purchased.

WARNING:

• As a hearing aid provider, we are required by federal law to advise you, as a prospective hearing aid user, to consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before purchase to determine whether you have any of the following conditions:
• Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
• History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
• History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days.
• Acute or chronic dizziness.
• Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days.
• Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500 hertz (Hz), 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz.
• Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
• Pain or discomfort in the ear.
Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing aid whose maximum sound pressure level exceeds 132 decibels because there may be risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing aid user. (This provision is required only for those hearing aids with a maximum sound pressure capability greater than 132 decibels (dB).)

Additional Information:

A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions.

In most cases infrequent use of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full benefit from it.
Use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and instruction in lip-reading.
