General warnings

For your personal safety and to ensure
correct usage, you should familiarise
yourself fully with the following general
warnings before using your hearing aid.
Please note that a hearing aid will not
restore normal hearing and will 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
its full benefits.
Consult your hearing care professional if
you experience unexpected operations or
events with your hearing aid.
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 permanent
damage to their hearing.
Choking hazards & risk of swallowing
batteries and other small parts
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.
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.
