Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written statement that states that your

hearing loss has been medically evaluated and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid.

The physician will refer you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing aid

evaluation.

The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid evaluation to assess your ability to hear

with and without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to select

and ﬁt a hearing aid to your individual needs. If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to ampliﬁ-

cation, 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 (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 since 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 a hearing loss.
