Unitron Moxi V-R Manual page 41

Portable RF communications equipment
(including peripherals such as antenna
cables and external antennas) should be
used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to
any part of the hearing aids, including
cables specified by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, degradation of the perfor-
mance of this equipment could result.
Hearing aids should not be fitted with
domes / wax protection systems when
used by clients with perforated ear-
drums, inflamed ear canals or otherwise
exposed middle ear cavities. In these
cases, we recommend the use of a cus-
tom earpiece. In the unlikely case that
any part of this product should remain
in the ear canal, it is strongly recom-
mended to see a medical specialist for
safe removal.
Avoid strong physical impacts to the
ear when wearing a hearing aid with
customized earpiece. The stability of
76
customized earpieces is designed for
normal use. A strong physical impact to
the ear (e.g. during sports) may cause
the customized earpiece to break. This
may lead to perforation of the ear canal
or eardrum.
After mechanical stress or shock to the
customized earpiece, please ensure that
it is intact before placing it in the ear.
The majority of hearing aid users have
a hearing loss for which a deterioration
in hearing is not to be expected with
regular use of a hearing aid in everyday
situations. Only a small group of hearing
aid wearers with hearing loss, may be
at risk of deterioration in hearing after a
long period of use.
Patients implanted with magnetic exter-
nally programmable CSF shunt valves
may have a risk of experiencing an
unintended change in their valve setting
when exposed to strong magnetic fields.
