residual hearing.
The use of hearing aids is only part of hearing rehabilitation; auditory training and lip reading instruction
may be required as weIl.

audiologist or hearing care professional immediately for modification of the hearing aid or earmold at

allergic reaction, or any other unusual condition. Please seek immediate consultation with a physician if
these conditions occur.
