Do I need a prescription or medical evaluation before buying an Acoustitone?
Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. Children under the age of 18 are not eligible for a waiver. In accordance with good health practice, MDHearingAid and the US FDA recommend that a person with hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician before purchasing any hearing aid.
