19. Important safety information

Please read the information on the following pages before
using your hearing aid.
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from
organic conditions. Infrequent use of a hearing aid does not
permit a user to attain full benefit. The use of a hearing aid
is only part of hearing habilitation and may need to be
supplemented by auditory training and instruction in
lipreading.

19.1 Hazard warnings
The intended use of
hearing aids is to amplify
and transmit sound to the
ears and hereby
compensate for impaired
hearing. The hearing aids
(specially programmed for
each hearing loss) must
only be used by the
intended person. They
should not be used by any
other person as they could
damage hearing.
Changes or modifications
to the hearing aid that
were not explicitly
approved by Sonova AG
are not permitted. Such
changes may damage your
ear or the hearing aid.
Do not use the hearing
aids in explosive areas
(mines or industrial areas
with danger of explosions,
oxygen rich environments
or areas where flammable
anesthetics are handled).
Hearing aid batteries are
toxic if they are swallowed!
Keep out of reach of
children and mentally
challenged people or pets.
If batteries are swallowed,
consult your physician
immediately!
