Warnings
Explosives
• The power source in your hearing instrument has insufficient energy to cause fire in
normal conditions of use. The hearing instrument has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning explosive environments. It is recommended
not to use your hearing instrument in areas where there is a danger of explosion.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and electrotherapy
• Remove your hearing instrument during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning, electrotherapy
or surgery, as your hearing instrument may be damaged when exposed to strong fields.
Possible side effects
• Hearing instruments and ear pieces may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear
wax.
• The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may, in rare cases,
cause a skin irritation or another unusual condition.
Please see a doctor if these conditions occur.
