WARNING to Hearing Aid Dispenser,
Outputs over 132 dB SPL:
You should exercise special care in selecting
and fitting a hearing aid with a maximum
output that exceeds 132 dB SPL because
it may impair the remaining hearing of the
hearing aid user.
Caution: This is not hearing protection.
You should remove this device if you
experience overly loud sounds, whether
short or long-lasting. If you're in a loud
place, you should use the right kind of
hearing protection instead of wearing
this device. In general, if you would use
ear plugs in a loud place, you should
remove this device and use ear plugs.
Caution: The sound output should not
be uncomfortable or painful.
You should turn down the volume or
remove the device if the sound output
is uncomfortably loud or painful. If you
consistently need to turn the volume down,
you may need to further adjust your device.
Caution: You may need medical help if
a piece gets stuck in your ear.
If any part of your hearing aid, like the
eartip, gets stuck in your ear, and you
can't easily remove it with your fingers,
get medical help as soon as possible. You
should not try to use tweezers or cotton
swabs because they can push the part
farther into your ear, injuring your eardrum
or ear canal, possibly seriously.
Note: What you can expect when you
start using a hearing aid
A hearing aid can benefit many people with
hearing loss. However, you should know
it will not restore normal hearing, and you
may still have some difficulty hearing over
noise. Further, a hearing aid will not prevent
or improve a medical condition that causes
hearing loss.
People who start using hearing aids
sometimes need a few weeks to get used
to them. Similarly, many people find that
training or counseling can help them get
more out of their devices.
