Children with hearing loss
In addition to seeing a physician for 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, educational and social growth of a child. An audiolo-
gist is qualified by training and experience to assist in the evalua-
tion and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss. If the user is an
infant, small child or person of mental incapacity, it is recommended
that the hearing instrument be modified with a tamper-resistant
battery compartment.
