General warnings and precautions
General warnings
1. Consult a hearing care professional if you think there may be a foreign object in your ear canal, if you
experience skin irritation, or if excessive earwax accumulates with the use of the hearing aid.
2. Different types of radiation, e.g., from NMR, MRI, or CT scanners, may damage hearing aids. It is
recommended not to wear hearing aids during these or other similar procedures. Other types of radiation,
such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems, radio equipment, mobile telephones, contain less energy
and will not damage hearing aids. However, they have the potential to momentarily affect the sound quality or
temporarily create undesired sounds from the hearing aids.
3. Do not wear hearing aids in mines, oil fields, or other explosive areas unless those areas are certified for
hearing aid use.
4. Do not allow others to use your hearing aids.
5. Hearing aid usage by children or mentally disabled persons should be supervised at all times to ensure their
safety. The hearing aid contains small parts that could be swallowed by children. Please be mindful not to
leave children unsupervised with this hearing aid.
6. Hearing aids should be used only as prescribed by your hearing care professional. Incorrect use may result in
sudden and permanent hearing loss.
7. Warning to hearing care professionals: Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting hearing aids
with maximum sound pressure level that exceeds 132 dB SPL with an IEC 60711:1981 occluded ear
simulator. There may be a risk of impairment of the remaining hearing.
