Before You Order
Your Hearing Aid
If this is your first time buying a hearing aid from our site, the FDA suggests that you first get an examination by a medical doctor, preferably an ear specialist. This is only a suggestion and you do not have to do it. Federal law allows a fully informed adult (over 18 ) to sign a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation. We provide this waiver form to you to sign before you check out. Note: You cannot check out without signing the waiver.
If you have any of the following symptoms, then it is suggested by the FDA that you get an examination first:
1. Visible congenital
or traumatic deformity of the ear
2. A history of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days
3. A history of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days.
4. Acute or chronic dizziness
5. A sudden loss of hearing in one ear in the past 90 days.
6. An audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500HZ, 1000HZ, and 2000HZ.
(This result will only be known if you have
already been to a hearing specialist and
been tested)
7. Visible evidence of heavy ear wax (cerumen) or any foreign body in the canal.
8. Pain or discomfort in the ear.
