X-ray/CT/MR/PET scanning, electrotherapy
and surgery
Remove your hearing aids before X-ray
examinations and CT/MR/PET scans,
electrotherapy, surgery, etc. as your
hearing aids may be damaged when
exposed to strong electromagnetic fields.
Heat and chemicals
The hearing aids must never be
exposed to extreme heat e.g. left
inside a parked car in the sun.
The hearing aids 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 aids. Always remove your hearing
aids before applying such products
and allow time to dry before use.
Power hearing aids
Special care should be exercised in selecting,
fitting, and using hearing aids where
the maximum sound pressure capability
exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 60318-4 / IEC 711)
as there may be a risk of impairing the
remaining hearing of the hearing aids user.
For information on whether your
instrument is a power hearing aid, see the
model overview section in this booklet.
Possible side effects
Hearing aids, moulds or domes may cause
an accelerated accumulation of earwax.
The non-allergenic materials used in
hearing aids may, in rare cases cause a
skin irritation or other side effects.
