Warnings
Dysfunction in hearing instruments
• Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired or
if the tubing is blocked by moisture or earwax. You should be aware of this possibility,
in particular when you are in traffic or otherwise dependent on warning sounds.
Active implants
Caution must be shown with active implants. General advice is to follow the guidelines as
recommended by manufacturers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers
regarding use with cell phones:
• If you wear an active implant, then keep the hearing instruments more than 15 cm
away from the implant e.g. do not carry them in a breast pocket.
• If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your implantable
device for information about the risk of disturbance.
