oticon CIC/MIC Instructions For Use Manual page 31

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.
Wax protection system
• Always use the same type of wax filter that was originally supplied with
the instrument.
Nowax:
• If the instrument is equipped with a NoWax wax protection system, follow
the directions specified in the section "How to change NoWax filter".
MicroWaxBuster or WaxBuster or WaxTrap:
• Never attempt to remove or replace the filter yourself.
If you are in any in doubt about the use or replacement of your wax protection
system, contact your hearing care professional.
Warning to hearing instrument dispenser and user
• The included case for instrument storage has a built-in magnet. If you have an
implantable device, such as pacemakers or defibrillators, the instrument case
should not be carried in a chest pocket or near to the chest.
