Information And Explanation Of Symbols - Sonova Unitron Stride M Series Manual

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 evaluation to assess your
ability to hear with and without a hearing aid. The hearing 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.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids 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.
