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 a medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions
that may aect hearing are identied and treated before the hearing aid is
purchased.
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written
statement that states that your hearing loss has been evaluated medically
and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid. The
physician may 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 t a hearing aid to your individual needs.
