Important Safety Information; Hazard Warnings - Phonak Tao Q User Manual

2. 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 from it. 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.

2.1 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 Phonak are not
permitted. Such changes may damage your ear or the
hearing aid.
