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, suntan 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.
Power instrument
• Special care should be exercised
in selecting, fitting and using a
hearing aid where maximum sound
pressure capability exceeds 132 dB
SPL (IEC 711), as there may be risk of
impairing the remaining hearing of
the hearing aid user.
For information on whether your
hearing aid is a power instrument,
see the back of this leaflet.
