Important Recommendations and Warnings
It’s crucial to discuss the following information with your loved ones and consult your audiologist or physician for further guidance:
Prioritizing your health interests involves thorough assessments by qualified professionals to ensure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and proper management of ear and hearing disorders. Your audiologist or hearing professional can provide personalized guidance tailored to your specific needs, contributing to better hearing health outcomes.
- Medical Evaluation: Federal regulators strongly suggest that a medical evaluation from a licensed professional before purchasing a hearing aid. This evaluation ensures that any underlying medical conditions related to hearing loss are addressed appropriately. If you’re 18 years or older, you can choose to sign a waiver indicating your understanding of this requirement but opt out of the medical evaluation and can even select an Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid. However, research indicates that wearing hearing aids that are not fit to audiologic best practices may not produce the same cognitive benefit of prescriptive hearing aids.
- Importance of Professional Assessment: Seeking the expertise of a licensed audiologist for a comprehensive audiometric evaluation helps determine the type and severity of your hearing loss and guide the selection of prescriptive hearing aids and adjustments for optimal performance.
