WARNING: This hearing aid should not cause pain when inserting it.
Remove this device from your ear if it causes pain or discomfort when you insert or place it. To try
again, make sure to follow the instructions. If you feel pain or discomfort again, contact the
manufacturer. If your pain or discomfort doesn't go away, contact your hearing healthcare professional.
You can also report this to FDA as an adverse event according to the instructions that appear later.
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 might 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 you can. 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.
