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 60138-4 / IEC 711) as there may
be risk of impairing the remaining
hearing of the hearing aid user.
For information of whether your
hearing aid is a power instrument, see
the model overview in the front of this
booklet.
Possible side effects
Hearing aids and earpieces may cause
an accelerated accumulation of earwax.
The non-allergenic materials used in
hearing aids may in rare cases cause a
skin irritation or other side effects.
Please consult a physician if these
conditions occur.

Bluetooth, unless Bluetooth is
permitted by the flight personnel.
Connection to external equipment
The safety of the use of hearing aids
when connected to external equipment
(with an auxiliary input cable and/or USB
cable and/or directly), is determined
by the external signal source. When
connected to external equipment
plugged into a wall outlet, this
equipment must comply with IEC 62368-
1 or equivalent safety standards.
Incompatible non-supplied
accessories
Only use accessories, transducers or
cables supplied by the manufacturer.
Incompatible accessories may result in
reduced electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) of your device.
Modification of hearing aids is
not allowed
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer will void
the warranty of the equipment.
Interference
The hearing aid has been
thoroughly tested for interference
according to the most stringent
international standards.
Electromagnetic interference may occur
in the vicinity of equipment with the

RF (radio frequency) communications
equipment can affect the performance
of your hearing aid. If your hearing
