General warnings

1. Consult a hearing care professional if you think there may be 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, from e.g. NMR, MRI, or CT scanners, may damage hearing
instruments. It is recommended not to wear hearing instruments during these or other similar
procedures. Other types of radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems, radio
equipment, mobile telephones, contain less energy and will not damage hearing instruments.
However, they have the potential to momentarily affect the sound quality or temporarily create
strange sounds from hearing instruments.

are certified for hearing instrument use.
4. Do not allow others to use your hearing instruments. This may cause damage to the hearing
instruments or to the hearing of the other individual.
5. Due to choking hazards, hearing instrument usage by children or individuals who are mentally
challenged 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 hearing loss.
