Children With Hearing Loss - Opticon Tego Pro User Instruction

Possible side effects
The hearing aid or earmold is a custom-made product. If you are
experiencing discomfort, see your audiologist or hearing instru-
ment dispenser immediately for modification of the hearing
instrument or earmold at the point of irritation.A hearing instru-
ment or earmold may cause an accelerated accumulation of
cerumen (earwax). Also in rare cases, the otherwise non-aller-
genic material may cause a discharge from the ear, allergic reac-
tion, or any other unusual condition. Please seek immediate
consultation with a physician if these conditions occur.

Children with hearing loss

In addition to seeing a physician for medical evaluation, a child
with a hearing loss should be directed to an audiologist for
evaluation and rehabilitation, since hearing loss may cause
problems in language development, educational and social
growth of a child. An audiologist is qualified by training and
experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a
child with a hearing loss.
If the user is an infant, small child or person of mental incapa-
city, it is recommended that the hearing instrument be modified
with a tamper-resistant battery compartment.
Warning to hearing instrument dispenser and user
Special care should be excercised in selecting, fitting and
using a hearing instrument where maximum sound pressure
capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711) as there may be risk of
impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
