Warnings

You should familiarise yourself fully
with the following general warnings
before using your hearing aid for
your personal safety and to ensure
correct use.
Please note that a hearing aid will
not restore normal hearing and will
not prevent or improve a hearing
impairment resulting from organic
conditions. Furthermore, note that
in most cases, infrequent use of a
hearing aid does not permit a user
to attain full benefit from it.
Consult your hearing care professional
if you experience unexpected
operations or events with your
hearing aid.

hearing.
Choking hazards & risk of

batteries should be kept out of reach
of children and anyone who might
swallow these items, or otherwise
