Warranty And Service - Siemens Behind-the-Ear Hearing Instruments User Manual

Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting
a hearing instrument whose maximum sound pressure
level exceeds 132 decibels (dB), because there may be
risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing
instrument user.
A hearing instrument will not restore normal hearing and
will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting
from organic conditions.
The use of hearing instruments is only part of hearing
rehabilitation and may need to be supplemented by auditory
training and instructions in lip reading. Consistent use of
amplification is recommended. In most cases, infrequent use
of hearing instruments does not permit the wearer to attain
the full benefit of amplification.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Warranty and Service

Your Siemens BTE hearing instrument, with the exception
of the battery, is covered by a comprehensive warranty. All
covered instrument parts received for warranty service at
an authorized Siemens Service Center will be repaired or
replaced with new or reconditioned components, without
charge, to meet the performance specifications for that model.
This warranty does not cover malfunctions due to unusual
wear and tear or mistreatment of the instrument such as
physical shock, excessive wax build-up, or tampering with the
instrument, any of which voids all warranties. Your Audiologist
or Hearing Care Provider may charge a service fee for
processing warranty service.
Warranty service must only be performed by an authorized
Siemens Service Center. Service performed by unauthorized
service depots voids this warranty and repairs so necessitated
will be done on a parts and labor cost basis.
Please refer to the warranty card included with your hearing
instruments for warranty period effective dates.
Your Siemens BTE hearing instruments may have additional
loss and damage coverage. Please consult your Audiologist or
Hearing Care Provider to determine if this is applicable to your
hearing instruments.
