Good Advice - Widex mind 330 Series User Instructions

• Do not wear your hearing aid in the shower or swim-
ming or when using a hair dryer, perfume or other
sprays. Use care when applying topical lotions such
as suntanning oils, lotions or sunscreens.
• Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself.
• Do not wear your hearing aid during x-ray, MRI scans,
CT scans, short-wave diathermy, or similar radiation
treatments and never place your hearing aid in a mi-
crowave oven. These are some of the types of radia-
tion that can damage your hearing aid. Radiation
from, for example, room surveillance equipment,
burglar alarms and cellular telephones is weaker and
will not damage the hearing aid; however, you may
hear interference noise.
• Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in mines
or other areas with explosive gases.
• To maintain the proper shape of the ear-set, be care-
ful not to twist or squeeze it out of shape when your
hearing aid is placed in the case.

Good advice

• You may notice increased accumulation of earwax
with hearing aid usage. Contact your physician/ENT
doctor if you suspect that a plug of earwax has accu-
mulated in your ear. Earwax may not only reduce
your own hearing but also the effect of the hearing
aid considerably. It is a good idea to ask your physi-
cian to clean your ears a couple of times a year.
• Please be sure to keep the hearing aid and its parts
and accessories out of the reach of children, who
might place them in their mouths. Also keep batter-
ies out of children's reach and discard used batteries
carefully. Do not change batteries in front of children
and do not let them see where you keep your sup-
ply.
• Batteries are very small and can easily be mistaken
for pills or the like. Never put a battery or hearing aid
in your mouth for any reason as you may risk swal-
lowing it. In case of ingestion, contact your physician
immediately and the 24 Hour National Button Bat-
tery Ingestion Hotline at: (202) 625-3333.
