General Precautions
• Consult a physician if you find 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.
• 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 surveillance 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.
• Warning: Do not wear the hearing instrument in mines or
other explosive areas, unless those areas are certified for
hearing instrument use.
