•
If you have two hearing aids, they may each be programmed differently. Do not swap them as this
could damage your hearing. Your hearing aids are color-coded. Left = blue. Right = red. If your hearing
aids are not color coded, ask your hearing care professional to add color coding.
•
If you experience side effects, contact a hearing care professional. Possible side effects from wearing
a hearing aid may be:
– Dizziness
– Tinnitus
– Perceived worsening of hearing loss
– Nausea
– Headache
– Skin reaction
– Ear wax accumulation
•
If you suspect that you have a dome, wax filter, or other object in your ear canal, consult your hearing
care professional. These objects can be harmful and can cause an infection in your ear.
•
If you have a sore or injury where your hearing aid touches your ear or head, continued use of the
hearing aid may cause it to worsen or prevent it from healing. Consult a hearing care professional for
assistance.
•
Your hearing aids are tuned to your hearing. Do not allow others to use your hearing aids as this can
damage their hearing.
•
When using wireless functions, your hearing aid uses low-powered digitally coded transmissions to
communicate with other wireless devices. It is possible, but not likely, that other electronic devices will
be affected. If this happens, move the hearing aid away from the affected electronic device.
•
Turn off hearing aid wireless functionality when this is required.
