Warnings
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and electrotherapy
• Remove your hearing instrument, for example, during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning
electrotherapy or surgery as your hearing instruments may be damaged when
exposed to strong fields.
Power Instruments
• Special care should be excercised in selecting, fitting and using a hearing instrument
where maximum sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711) as there may
be risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
Possible side effects
• Hearing instruments or ear molds may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear wax.
• The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may in rare cases
cause a skin irritation or any other unusual condition.
Please, seek consultation with a physician if these conditions occur.
