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 fluctuating
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 fitting 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 may need medical help if
a piece gets stuck in your ear.
If any part of your hearing aid, like the
eartip, gets stuck in your ear, and you
can’t easily remove it with your fingers,
get medical help as soon as possible. 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 can expect when you
start using a hearing aid
A hearing aid can benefit many people with
hearing loss. However, you should know
it will not restore normal hearing, and you
may still have some difficulty 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 find 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 any 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 can
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 first, 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.
• 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 fit the appropriate
hearing aid.
A person younger than 18 years old
with hearing loss should undergo 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 aect hearing
but that a hearing aid won’t treat on its own.
Following the medical evaluation and if
it is 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 fit a hearing aid for the person’s
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 qualified by
training and experience to assist in the
evaluation and rehabilitation of hearing
loss in people younger than 18.
