Active Implants
• Oticon shows caution and advise to follow the guideline as recommended by manu-
facturers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers regarding use of mobile 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 implant-
able device for information about the risk of disturbance.
• 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.
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 instruments in areas where there is a danger of explosions.
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.
Possible side effects
• Hearing instruments may cause an accelerated accumulation of cerumen (ear wax).
The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may in rare
cases cause a skin irritation.
Consult a doctor if you experience any of these side effects.
