hearing instrument to your individual needs. If you

have reservations about your ability to adapt to

amplification, you should inquire about the availability

of a trial-rental or purchase-option program. Many

hearing instrument dispensers now offer programs

that permit you to wear a hearing instrument for a

period of time for a nominal fee after which you may

decide if you want to purchase the hearing instrument.

Federal law restricts the sale of hearing instruments 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

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.
