Warnings
Children with hearing loss
In addition to seeing a physician for 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 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. If the user is an infant, small child, or person
of mental incapacity, it is recommended that the hearing instrument be modified with a
tamper-resistant battery compartment.
