California Hearing: Terms and Disclaimer
Federal regulation prohibits any hearing aid sale unless
the buyer has first received a medical evaluation from a licensed
physician. However, if you are at least 18 years old, you can
sign a form (waiver) that says you are fully aware of your rights but choose
not to have the medical evaluation. For people under 18 years
of age, waiver of the medical evaluation is not permitted. These rules
and regulations may vary state-by-state and you need to check with your
state rules, regulations and laws. I do not recommend using waivers.
Your best health interest is served by seeing a licensed
audiologist for a complete audiometric evaluation and seeing
an otolaryngologist for medical and/or surgical diagnosis and
treatment of all ear and hearing disorders and diseases.
