• The purpose of medical evaluation is to ensure that all medically
treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated
before the hearing aid is purchased.
• Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written
statement that states that your hearing loss has been medically
evaluated and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid.
The physician will refer you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser,
as appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation.
• The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid
evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing aid.
The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to
select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs.
