may stop functioning for instance if the
batteries have expired or if the tubing is
blocked by moisture or earwax.
Active implants
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested and characterized for human
health according to international
standards for human exposure (Specific
Absorption Ratio - SAR), induced
electromagnetic power and voltages
into the human body.
The exposure values are well below
internationally accepted safety limits
for SAR, induced electromagnetic power
and voltages into the human body
defined in the standards for human
health and coexistence with active
medical implants, such as pacemakers
and heart defibrillators.
If you have an active brain implant,
contact the manufacturer of your
implantable device for information
