If you have an active brain implant, contact
the manufacturer of your implanted device
for information about the use with a
hearing aid.
Accessories with built-in magnets (for
example the Autophone magnet and
the MultiTool) should be kept at least 30
centimeters (12 inches) away from any
implanted medical device. Follow the
guidelines from the manufacturer of your
implanted medical device regarding their
use with magnets.
Use with cochlear implants
If you are using a cochlear implant (CI) on
one ear and a hearing aid on the other ear,
make sure to always keep your CI at least a
1 centimeter (0.4 inches) away from your
hearing aid. The magnetic field from the CI
may permanently damage the speaker unit
in your hearing aid. Never place the devices
close together on a table (for example,
when cleaning or changing batteries).
Do not carry the CI and the hearing aid
together in the same box.
Detached earpiece in ear canal
Ensure that the earpiece is still connected
to the speaker when removing the hearing
aid from your ear. If the earpiece is not on
the speaker, the earpiece may still be in
the ear canal. Consult your hearing care
professional.
Remove hearing aids before certain
medical procedures
Remove your hearing aids before medical
procedures such as X-ray examinations,
CT/MR/PET scans, electrotherapy,
surgery, etc. Your hearing aids may be
damaged if exposed to strong magnetic or
electromagnetic fields.
