Warnings
Dysfunction
Be aware of the possibility that your hearing aid may stop working without notice. Keep this in
mind when you depend on warning sounds (e.g. when you are in traffic). The hearing aids may
stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired or if the tubing is blocked by moisture
or earwax.
Active implants
Caution must be taken with active implants. In general, follow the guidelines recommended by
manufacturers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers regarding use with mobile phones
and magnets.
The Autophone magnet and MultiTool (which has a built-in magnet) should be kept at least 30 cm
away from the implant, e.g. do not carry it in a breast pocket.
If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your implantable device
for information about the risk of disturbance.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning, and electrotherapy
Remove your hearing aid before X-ray, CT/MR/PET scanning, electrotherapy, surgery, etc. as your
hearing aid may be damaged when exposed to strong fields.

Warnings
Heat and chemicals
The hearing aid must never be exposed to extreme heat, e.g. left inside a parked car in the sun.
The hearing aid must not be dried in microwave ovens or other ovens.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, aftershave lotion, suntan lotion, and insect
repellent can damage the hearing aid. Always remove your hearing aid before applying such
products and allow time to dry before use.
Power instrument
Special care should be exercised in selecting, fitting and using a hearing aid whose maximum
sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711), as there may be risk of impairing the
remaining hearing of the hearing aid user.
For information on whether your hearing aid is a power instrument, see Model overview in front
of this booklet."
