FDA Waiver

I acknowledge that I am 18 years of age or older and that I have been advised by Audicus that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that my best health interest would be served if I had a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing aid/device. I do not wish a medical evaluation before purchasing a hearing aid/device. Additional Considerations If you have or think you may have any of the following conditions, Audicus advises you to consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) prior to purchase:

Visible deformity of the ear
Fluid or drainage from the ear within the past 90 days
Sudden, rapidly progressing, or fluctuating hearing loss
Spells of acute or chronic dizziness
Hearing loss only on one side that worsened in the past 90 days
Ear canal blockage, a lasting ear infection or a plugged up fullness feeling
Excessive wax buildup, or a history of excessive wax buildup
Pain or discomfort in the ear
Ringing in one or both ears within last 90 days

Hearing Aids: You are purchasing a hearing aid based upon the information you have submitted to Audicus. Any examination or representation made by a hearing aid provider or audiologist in connection with the practice of dispensing, fitting, or dealing in hearing aids is not an examination, diagnosis, or prescription by a person licensed to practice medicine and, therefore, must NOT be regarded as medical opinion or advice. Hearing aids will NOT restore normal hearing, nor will it prevent further hearing loss. It is also recommended that an Otoscopic exam is performed before the purchase of a hearing aid. Listening Devices: Listening Devices are intended to amplify sounds in situations that would be difficult for normal hearing individuals to hear. A listening device is NOT a hearing aid and is not intended to treat hearing loss. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure any disease or alter the structure or function of the body. It will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. Listening devices are designed for occasional and recreational use for amplifying and filtering sounds that are inherently difficult to hear. If you believe you have hearing loss, you are encouraged by Audicus to seek help from a qualified professional. To protect your hearing, avoid having the volume at high levels for extended periods of time. Permanent hearing loss can result from high sound volumes. By purchasing from Audicus, you also agree that you are the person that will be the end user and wearer of these hearing devices, and that the reason for purchasing these hearing devices from Audicus is for the sole purpose of personal use only and not for competitive research, resale, or any other reason. You also agree that you have read, understand and agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

BILL OF SALE

Hearing Aids

Audicus offers hearing aids.

Hearing aids, such as the Audicus Dia II and Audicus Wave are designed to help compensate for specific types of hearing loss and are meant to be worn by the patient all of the time.

Warranties

Audicus provides a 24 months manufacturer’s warranty on each hearing device, starting on the date of shipment to you. If, after examining the hearing device(s), Audicus determines that the unit(s) failed to work due to parts, materials or workmanship, the device will be repaired or replaced for free. The guarantee will not be valid if the device has been modified or damaged by the user (e.g. physical shock, damage from moisture or sweat, excessive wax build-up, or tampering with the instrument) or if the serial number has been altered, or if repairs have been made without the consent and knowledge of Audicus.

Return Policy

If for whatever reason you aren’t 100% happy with our hearing instruments, you can return them to us for a full refund within 45 days from the shipment date.

If you are returning your hearing device during the 45-day span because they stopped working correctly, please consult our troubleshooting guide first and/or do the following checks:

– Clean the device

– Insert new batteries

– Make sure the device is switched on and is not set to the Telecoil function

Before returning your hearing device please contact us (888-979-6918), and we’ll do our best to help you benefit from the devices. To return your hearing device, Mail it to the following address:

Audicus, Inc

450 Seventh Ave,

Suite 2407

New York, NY 10123

Insure the package and/or get a tracking number and/or have signature confirmation to ensure it gets delivered to us. We cannot be held responsible for any lost or damaged shipments and will not accept damaged hearing instruments.

Note that the returns policy will not apply, if an Audicus device has been modified or damaged, or if the serial number has been altered, or if repairs have been made without the consent and knowledge of Audicus. In such case, you will be billed for the full amount of the device.

Adjustments

If you are not fully satisfied with the sound quality or amplification settings on the hearing instrument, the device might require some re-programming. We offer these adjustments for free during the initial 45-day period and would simply ask you to fill out the audiologist-designed survey at the end of this Bill of Sale or on the Audicus site in order to better address your issue. Note we will not be able to cover your return shipping fees.

Medical Opinion

The purchaser has been advised at the outset of the purchaser’s relationship with Audicus that any examination or representation made by a hearing aid provider or audiologist in connection with the practice of dispensing, fitting, or dealing in hearing aids is not an examination, diagnosis, or prescription by a person licensed to practice medicine in this state and, therefore, must not be regarded as medical opinion or advice. A hearing aid or PSA will not restore normal hearing nor will it prevent further hearing loss.

Customer Consent for Use and Disclosure of Protected Health Information

The purchaser hereby gives consent for Audicus to use and disclose protected health information (PHI) about him/her to carry out treatment, payment and health care operations (TPO). The Privacy Policy provided by Audicus describes such uses and disclosures more completely.

The purchaser has the right to review the Privacy Policy prior to accepting this consent. Audicus reserves the right to revise its Privacy Policy at any time. A revised Privacy Policy may be obtained by forwarding a written request to Audicus ([email protected]).

With this consent, Audicus may call the purchaser’s home or other alternative location and leave a message on voice mail or in person in reference to any items that assist the practice in carrying out TPO, such as appointment reminders, insurance items and any

calls pertaining to the purchaser’s hearing aids. With this consent, Audicus may mail to the purchaser’s home or other alternative location any items that assist Audicus in carrying out TPO, as long as they are marked “Personal and Confidential.”

With this consent, Audicus may email to the purchaser’s home or other alternative location any items that assist the practice in carrying out TPO. The purchaser has the right to request that Audicus restricts how it uses or discloses the purchaser’s PHI to carry out TPO. By accepting this form, the purchaser consents to allow Audicus to use and disclose the purchaser’s PHI to carry out TPO.

The purchaser may revoke his/her consent in writing except to the extent that Audicus has already made disclosures in reliance upon the purchaser’s prior consent. If the purchaser does not accept this consent, or later revokes it, Audicus may decline to provide goods and services to the purchaser.
