A hearing aid dispenser should advise a prospective hearing aid user
to consult promptly with a licensed (preferably an ear specialist) before
dispensing a hearing aid if the hearing aid dispenser determines through
inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other available information
concerning the prospective user, that the prospective user has 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.
• Audio metric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500 hertz (Hz),
1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz.
• Visible evidence of signicant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the
ear canal.
• Pain or discomfort in the ear.
How to identify a left or right device.
Simplicity devices have been color coded
to help distinguish a left ear device from a
right one. Look closely at the base of the
Sound Port Dome. It will be imprinted with
either red or blue stamp. The red color indi-
cates the right ear and blue is for the left.
It is recommended that you change the po-
ly-tube approximately every three months
or sooner if they crack or become clogged.
Refer to pages 12 and 13 for proper cleaning
and replacement instructions.
