Power instrument
Special care should be exercised in
selecting, fitting and using a hearing
aid where maximum sound pressure
capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711),
as there may be risk of impairing the re-
maining hearing of the hearing aid user.
For information on whether your
hearing aid is a power instrument,
see the back of this leaflet.
Possible side effects
Hearing aids, moulds or domes may
cause an accelerated accumulation of
ear wax.
The otherwise non-allergenic materials
used in hearing aids may in rare cases
cause a skin irritation or other side
effects.
Please seek consultation with a
physician if these conditions occur.
Interference
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested for interference, according to the
most stringent international stand-
ards. However, interference between
the hearing aid and other devices (e.g.
some mobile telephones, citizens band
systems and shop alarm systems and
other devices) may occur. If this occurs,
increase the distance between the
hearing aid and the interfering device.
Connection to external equipment
The safety of the hearing aid when
connected to external equipment (via
auxiliary input cable, via USB cable, or
directly), is determined by the external
equipment. When connected to external
equipment plugged into a wall outlet,
this equipment must comply with
IEC-60065, IEC-60950 or equivalent
