Safety and health information
This product will not restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from
organic conditions. This product is designed to help you
make greater use of your remaining hearing ability. You
should keep in mind that it can take time to become
accustomed to hearing new sounds.
For best results, practice using the hearing aids as much
as possible. In most cases, infrequent use of the hearing
aids doesn't permit you to attain full benefit from them.
The use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing
habilitation and may need to be supplemented by
auditory training and instruction in lipreading.
It is good health practice for a person with a hearing
loss to have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician
(preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of
the ear). Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases
of the ear are often referred to as otolaryngologists,
otologists, or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of a
medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable
conditions that may affect hearing are identified
and treated.
