Good advice
•
The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumu-
lation of earwax. Contact your physician/ENT doctor
if you suspect that a plug of earwax has accumulated
in your ear. Earwax may not only reduce your own
hearing but also the effect of the hearing aid consid-
erably. It is a good idea to ask your physician 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.
•
Never put a battery in your mouth for any reason as
you may risk swallowing it. In case of ingestion, con-
tact your physician immediately.

•
The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic
materials. Still, in rare cases skin irritation can occur. If
you notice skin irritation in or around your ear or ear
canal, contact your hearing care professional.
•
Please be aware that the use of any type of hearing
aid may involve a slightly increased risk of infection
in the ear canal. An infection can arise as a result of
inadequate ventilation of the ear. Therefore, we rec-
ommend that you remove the entire hearing aid
from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to be
ventilated. Make sure that you clean and inspect your
hearing aid and all its parts as required. If an infection
occurs, you should seek medical attention and con-
tact your hearing care professional for advice on how
to disinfect the various hearing aid parts. Do not un-
der any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine or similar
substances to clean your hearing aid and its parts.
