Dysfunction in hearing instruments
• Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired or
if the tubing is blocked by moisture or earwax. You should be aware of this possibility, in
particular when you are in traffic or otherwise dependent on warning sounds.
Active Implants
• The included case for instrument storage has a built-in magnet. If you have an
implantable device, such as pacemakers or defibrillators, the instrument case should
not be carried in a chest pocket or near to the chest.
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 atmospheres. It is recommended
not to use your hearing instruments in areas where there is a danger of explosions.
