Warnings - oticon Alta2 Pro Instructions For Use Manual

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 impair-
ment resulting from organic conditions.
Furthermore, note that
in most cases, infrequent use of a hear-
ing 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.
32 About Start up Handling Options
Usage of hearing aids
Hearing aids should be used only as
directed and adjusted by your hearing
care professional. Misuse can result in
sudden and permanent hearing loss.
Never allow others to wear your hearing
aid as incorrect usage could cause per-
manent damage to their hearing.
Choking hazards & risk of swallowing
batteries
Hearing aids, their parts, and batteries
should be kept out of reach of children
and anyone who might swallow these
items, or otherwise cause injury to
themselves.
Batteries have occasionally been
mistaken for pills. Therefore, check your
medicine carefully before
swallowing any pills.
Warnings More info
Most hearing aids can be supplied with
a tamper-resistant battery drawer upon
request. This is strongly recommended
for infants, small children and people
with learning difficulties.
Children younger than 36 months must
always use a tamper-resistant battery
drawer. Please talk to your hearing care
professional about the availability of
this option.
If a battery or hearing aid is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately.
Battery use
Always use batteries recommended by
your hearing care professional. Batter-
ies of low quality may leak and cause
bodily harm.
Never attempt to recharge your batter-
ies and never dispose of batteries by
burning them. There is a risk that the
batteries will explode.
Dysfunction
Be aware of the possibility that your
hearing aid may stop working without
notice. Keep this in mind when you de-
pend 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 ear wax.
Active implants
Caution must be taken with active im-
plants. In general, follow the guidelines
recommended by manufacturers of
implantable defibrillators and pacemak-
ers regarding use with mobile phones
and magnets.
The MultiTool (which has a built-in mag-
net) should be kept more than 30 cm
away from the implant, e.g. do not carry
it in a breast pocket.
