FDA INFORMATION
the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists,
or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of the medical evaluation
is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect
hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid

period of time for a nominal fee after which you may decide if you
want to purchase the hearing aid.

use is strongly discouraged.

loss should be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and
