WARNING TO HEARING
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
A hearing health professional should advise a prospective hearing
instrument user to consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably
an ear specialist) before dispensing an instrument if he or she determines
through inquiry, actual observation or review of any other available
information concerning the prospective user, that the prospective user
has any of the following conditions:
• Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear
• History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days
• History of sudden or rapid progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days
• Acute or chronic dizziness
• Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days
• Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500 Hertz (Hz),
1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz
• Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear
canal
• Pain or discomfort in the ear. Special care should be exercised in
selecting and fitting a hearing instrument whose maximum sound pressure level
exceeds 132 decibels because there may be risk of impairing the remaining hearing
of the hearing instrument user.
CHILDREN WITH HEARING LOSS
A child with a hearing loss should see a physician for medical
evaluation. In addition, he or she 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.
