If you have an active brain implant, contact
the manufacturer of your implantable
device for information about the risk of
disturbance.
Cochlear implants
If you are using a cochlear implant (CI) on
one ear and a hearing aid on the other ear,
make sure to always keep your CI at least at
a 1cm distance from your hearing aid. The
magnetic field from CI sound processors,
coils and magnets may permanently
damage the speaker unit in your hearing
aid. Never place the devices close together
on a table e.g. when cleaning or changing
batteries. Do not carry the CI and the
hearing aid together in the same box.
X-ray/CT/MR/PET scanning,
electrotherapy and surgery
Remove your hearing aid before X-ray/CT/
MR/PET scanning, electrotherapy, surgery,
etc. as your hearing aid may be damaged
when exposed to strong electromagnetic
fields.
Heat and chemicals
The hearing aid must never be exposed to
extreme heat, e.g. left inside a parked car
in the sun.
The hearing aid must not be dried in
microwave ovens or other ovens.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray,
perfume, aftershave lotion, sunscreen
lotion, and insect repellent can damage the
hearing aid. Always remove your hearing
aid before applying such products and
allow time to dry before use.
