Important Notice for Users
42
Stop using the Otofonix Hearing Aid and consult a physician if any of the following occur:
▪ Hearing in one or both ears worsens.
▪ Hearing does not improve.
▪ Skin irritation develops in or around your ear canal.
▪ Your ear becomes blocked or clogged with excessive ear wax.
▪ You develop an infection in your ear or ear canal.
Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing aid whose maximum sound pressure level
exceeds 132 decibels because there may be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the user.
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing or prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from
organic conditions. In most cases, infrequent use of a hearing aid does not permit a user to fully benefit from it.
The use of hearing aids is only part of hearing rehabilitation and may need to be supplemented by auditory
training and instructions in lip reading.
