RE: PRESS RELEASE - I THINK I MAY NEED A HEARING AID. WHAT
SHOULD I DO?
If you think you might need a hearing aid, you should have a hearing evaluation performed by a licensed audiologist before making a purchase. You can also contact the New York State Education Department (518-474-3817 X100) for audiologist information.
Audiologists who sell hearing aids must be registered with the Department of State as hearing aid dispensers, in addition to being licensed by the State Education Department as audiologists.
To obtain a copy of New York State’s A Consumer’s Guide to Hearing Aids, call the Ulster County District Attorney’s Division of Consumer Affairs at 340-3260.
