WARNING: People younger than 18 should go to a
doctor before using this. People younger than 18 years
old need specialized care, and using this without a
medical evaluation may worsen impairment or disability.
A hearing aid user who is younger than 18 should have
a recent medical evaluation from a doctor, preferably
an ear-nose-throat doctor (an ENT). Before using this, a
doctor should determine that the use of a hearing aid is
appropriate.
WARNING to Hearing Aid Dispensers:
You should advise a prospective hearing aid user to consult
promptly with a doctor, preferably an ear specialist such as
an ENT, before dispensing a hearing aid if you determine
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:
• Visible deformity of the ear, either congenital or
traumatic
• Fluid, pus, or blood coming out of the ear within the
previous 6 months
• Pain or discomfort in the ear
• History of excessive ear wax or suspicion that
something is in the ear canal
• Dizziness, either recent or long-standing
• Sudden, quickly worsening, or uctuating hearing loss
within the previous 6 months
• Hearing loss or ringing (tinnitus) only in one ear or a
noticeable difference in hearing between ears
• Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 dB

at 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz
WARNING to Hearing Aid Dispenser, Outputs over 132 dB
SPL:
You should exercise special care in selecting and tting a
hearing aid with a maximum output that exceeds 132 dB
SPL because it may impair the remaining hearing of the
hearing aid user.
Caution: This is not hearing protection.
You should remove this device if you experience overly loud
sounds, whether short or long-lasting. If you’re in a loud
place, you should use the right kind of hearing protection
instead of wearing this device In general, if you would use
ear plugs in a loud place, you should remove this device
and use ear plugs.
Caution: The sound output should not be uncomfortable
or painful.
You should turn down the volume or remove the device if
the sound output is uncomfortably loud or painful. If you
consistently need to turn the volume down, you may need
to further adjust your device.
Caution: You might need medical help if a piece gets stuck
in your ear.
If any part of your hearing aid, like the ear tip, gets stuck in
your ear, and you can’t easily remove it with your ngers,
get medical help as soon as you can. You should not try to
use tweezers or cotton swabs because they can push the
part farther into your ear, injuring your eardrum or ear canal,
possibly seriously.
Note: What you might expect when you start using a
hearing aid
A hearing aid can benet many people with hearing loss.

However, you should know it will not restore normal
hearing, and you may still have some diculty hearing over
noise. Further, a hearing aid will not prevent or improve a
medical condition that causes hearing loss.
People who start using hearing aids sometimes need a few
weeks to get used to them. Similarly, many people nd that
training or counseling can help them get more out of their
devices.
If you have hearing loss in both ears, you might get more
out of using hearing aids in both, especially in situations
that make you tired from listening – for example, noisy
environments.
Note: Tell FDA about injuries, malfunctions, or other
adverse events.
To report a problem involving your hearing aid, you should
submit information to FDA as soon as possible after the
problem. FDA calls them “adverse events,” and they might
include: skin irritation in your ear, injury from the device
(like cuts or scratches, or burns from an overheated
battery), pieces of the device getting stuck in your ear,
suddenly worsening hearing loss from using the device,
etc.
Instructions for reporting are available at https://www.fda.
gov/Safety/MedWatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088. You can
also download a form to mail to FDA.
Note: Hearing loss in people younger than 18
• People younger than 18 should see a doctor rst,
preferably an ear-nose-throat doctor (an ENT), because
they may have different needs than adults.
• The doctor will identify and treat medical conditions as
appropriate.
FDA Required Information

• The doctor may refer the person to an audiologist for a
separate test, a hearing aid evaluation.
• The hearing aid evaluation will help the audiologist
select and t the appropriate hearing aid.
A person who is younger than 18 years old with hearing
loss should have a medical evaluation by a doctor,
preferably an ENT, before buying a hearing aid. The purpose
of a medical evaluation is to identify and treat medical
conditions that may affect hearing but that a hearing aid
won’t treat on its own.
Following the medical evaluation and if appropriate, the
doctor will provide a written statement that the hearing
loss has been medically evaluated and the person is a
candidate for a hearing aid. The doctor may refer the
person to an audiologist for a hearing aid evaluation, which
is different from the medical evaluation and is intended to
identify the appropriate hearing aid.
The audiologist will conduct a hearing aid evaluation
to assess the person’s ability to hear with and without
a hearing aid. This will enable the audiologist to select
and t a hearing aid for the person’ individual needs. An
audiologist can also provide evaluation and rehabilitation
since, for people younger than 18, hearing loss may cause
problems in language development and educational and
social growth. An audiologist is qualied by training and
experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of
hearing loss in people younger than 18.
