Warnings
Dysfunction
• Be aware of the possibility that
your hearing instrument may stop
working without notice. Keep this in
mind when you depend on warning
sounds (e.g. when you are in traffic).
The hearing instruments may stop
functioning, for instance if the bat-
teries have expired or if the tubing is
blocked by moisture or ear wax.
Active implants
• Caution must be taken with active
implants. In general, follow the
guidelines recommended by manu-
facturers of implantable defibrilla-
tors and pacemakers regarding use
with mobile phones and magnets.

distance between the hearing
instruments and the implant is larger
