remaining hearing ability. You should keep in mind that it can take time to become accustomed to
hearing new sounds.
For best results, practice using the hearing aids as much as possible. In most cases, infrequent use of
the hearing aids doesn't permit you to attain full benefit from them.
It is good health practice for a person with hearing loss to have a medical evaluation by a licensed
physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear). Licensed physicians who
specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists or
otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of a medical evaluation is to ensure that all medically treatable
conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated.
Special Needs
Users with special needs or those requiring auxiliary help, should contact their caregiver or healthcare
provider for additional assistance.
