Health Considerations

If soreness or skin irritation develops, discontinue wearing your
hearing instrument, and bring the instrument and earmold to
your Hearing Care Professional. If soreness persists, discontinue
wearing the hearing instrument and see your physician. If
excessive earwax accumulates when wearing your hearing
instruments, consult your Hearing Care Professional.

Important Notices

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, 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.
Important notice for prospective hearing
instrument wearers
Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing
loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician
(preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear)
before purchasing hearing instruments. Licensed physicians
who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as
Otolaryngologists, Otologists, or Otorhinolaryngologists.
