Possible side effects
• The hearing instrument or earmold is a custom-made product. If you are experiencing
discomfort, see your audiologist or hearing instrument dispenser immediately for
modification of the hearing instrument or earmold at the point of irritation. A hearing
instrument or earmold may cause an accelerated accumulation of cerumen (earwax).
Also in rare cases, the otherwise non-allergenic material may cause a discharge from
the ear, allergic reaction, or any other unusual condition. Please seek immediate
consultation with a physician if these conditions occur.
Children with hearing loss
• In addition to seeing a physician for medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss
should be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation, since hearing
loss may cause problems in language development, educational and social growth of a
child. An audiologist is qualified by training and experience to assist in the evaluation
and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss. If the user is an infant, small child or
person of mental incapacity, it is recommended that the hearing instrument be
modified with a tamper-resistant battery compartment.
Safety requirements regarding Direct Audio Input (DAI)
• The safety of hearing instruments with DAI (Direct Audio Input) is determined by the
external signal source. When the DAI is connected to mains-operated equipment, this
equipment must comply with IEC-60065, IEC-60601 or equivalent safety standards.
Wax protection system
• Always visually inspect your hearing instruments to ensure that there is no gap
between the wax protection flange and the tip of the Micro Mold.
If you are in any doubt about the use or replacement of your wax protection system,
contact your Hearing Care Professional.
