Warnings
Explosives
• The power source in your hearing instrument has insufficient energy to cause fire in
normal conditions of use. The hearing instrument has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning explosive atmospheres. It is recommended
not to use your hearing instrument in areas where there is a danger of explosions.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and electrotherapy
• Remove your hearing instrument during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning electrotherapy or
surgery, as your hearing instrument may be damaged when exposed to strong fields.
Power instrument
• Special care should be exercised in selecting, fitting and using a hearing instrument
where maximum sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711), as there may
be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
Possible side effects
• Hearing instruments may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear wax.
