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. Some hearing aid dispensers now oer 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 consul-
tation with a physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not in your best
health interest and its use is strongly discouraged.
Children with a 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.
