Page 6: Important Safety Information
Important safety information Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid. Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used im- properly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or even fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a doctor immediately. Take your hearing aids out when you are not using them. - Page 7 Your hearing aid is very powerful and it can play sounds that exceed a level of 132 dB. There may therefore be a risk of damaging your remain- ing hearing. Do not expose your hearing aids to extreme temperatures or high humid- ity, and dry them quickly if they get wet, or if you perspire heavily.
