We look forward to an open communication with you; however, as you participate on our social media communities, please keep the following things in mind:

If you are experiencing a medical problem, please consult a health care professional for diagnosis and treatment.  You should never disregard medical advice or delay obtaining medical advice because of something you have read online. You should not rely on information obtained online to diagnose a medical, or health problem.

We cannot and will not address or comment on diagnostic or treatment-related questions or issues in this forum. Questions or issues relating to diagnosis or treatment should always be directed to your hearing care professional or other health care professional.

We want to provide a respectful and welcoming community for all and may remove comments that use profane, defamatory, abusive, insulting or otherwise offensive language.

Please do not include personal information about you or any other person in your comments. We may remove comments or posts that contain personal information about you or someone you know, including phone number, address, email, date of birth, or other personally identifiable information.

We reserve the right to remove these comments if they detract from our community’s intent.

There is a chance we’ll encounter a situation not outlined above, which will require us to remove your comment.
