General Warnings
1. Consult a physician if you discover a foreign object in your ear canal,
if you experience skin irritation or if excessive ear wax accumulates
with the use of the hearing instrument
2. Different types of radiation, e.g. from NMR, MRI or CT scanners,
may damage the hearing instrument. Therefore, do not wear the
hearing instrument during these or other corresponding scanning
procedures. Other types of radiation (burglar alarms, room surveil-
lance systems, radio equipment, mobile telephones, etc) contain
less energy and will not damage the hearing instrument. They could,
however, momentarily affect the sound quality or create strange
sounds from the hearing instruments
3. Do not wear the hearing instrument in mines, oil fields or other explo-
sive areas, unless those areas are certified for hearing instrument use
4. Do not allow others to use your hearing instrument. It may cause per-
manent damage to the hearing instruments as well as to the hearing
5. Due to choking hazard hearing instrument usage by children or
mentally challenged persons should be supervised at all times
6. Hearing instruments should be used only as prescribed by your
hearing care professional. Incorrect use may result in sudden and
permanent hearing loss
