Page 24: Fda Statements
FDA STATEMENTS Warning to hearing aid dispensers A hearing aid dispenser should advise a prospective hear- ing aid user to consult promptly with a licensed physician (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:... - Page 25 Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing aid whose maximum sound pressure level exceeds 132 decibels because there may be risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing aid user. (OVATION hearing aids as manufactured do not have this level of output)
- Page 26 Important Notice for Prospective Hearing Aid Users Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical evalu- ation 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.
- Page 27 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.
