IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PROSPECTIVE SOUND AMPLIFIER USERS

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 a sound amplifier. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists, otologists or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of the medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated before the sound amplifier is purchased.

Warning to sound amplifier dispensers A sound amplifier dispenser should advise a prospective sound amplifier user to consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before dispensing a sound amplifier if the sound amplifier dispenser 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:

• (i) Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
• (ii) History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
• (iii) History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days.
• (iv) Acute or chronic dizziness.
• (v) Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days.
• (vi) Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500 hertz (Hz), 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz.
• (vii) Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
• (viii) Pain or discomfort in the ear.

Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a sound amplifier whose maximum sound pressure level exceeds 132 decibels because there may be risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the sound amplifier user. (This provision is required only for those sound amplifier with a maximum sound pressure capability greater than 132 decibels (dB).)
