FDA Regulations

If this is your first time buying a hearing aid, we suggest that you first get an examination by a medical doctor (preferably an ear specialist) to specifically check for any of the following conditions:

• Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear

• History of active drainage from the ear within the last 90 days

• History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the last 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 (Hz), 1000 (Hz) and 2000 (Hz)

• Visible evidence of earwax (cerumen) or any foreign body in the ear canal

• Pain or discomfort in the ear

If you do not want a medical examination, the Federal Law allows a fully-informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation.  Sign the waiver on the Order Form and send along with your order.
