About the hearing test requirement.  Federal law requires that every person, prior to being fit with hearing aids, must have their hearing tested by a hearing professional.  Please ask for a copy of your hearing test results (or audiogram) be provided to you.  Be prepared for the local hearing professional to try to sell you their own hearing aids.  Please decline their invitation.  Federal regulations require that we obtain a hearing test that is less than 6 months old prior to dispensing any hearing aid.  This policy ensures that the hearing aid we recommend is appropriate for your hearing loss and the prefit sound settings created by us for you are as accurate as possible.

Under federally mandated HIPAA regulations, health care providers must provide you with copies of certain documents upon your request, including Medical Exam / Clearance forms and hearing test results / audiograms.
