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

you experience unexpected operations

directed and adjusted by your hearing
care professional. Misuse can result in
sudden and permanent hearing loss.

kept out of reach of children and anyone
who might swallow these items or
otherwise cause injury to themselves.
