Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written
statement that states that your hearing loss has been medically evaluated
and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid . The physician
will refer you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate,
for a hearing aid evaluation .
The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid evalua-
tion to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing aid . The hear-
ing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to select and fit a
hearing aid 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 aid dispensers now offer programs that permit you
to wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee after which you
may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid .
