About Startup Handling Options Tinnitus Warnings More info
You should familiarise yourself fully
with the following general warnings
before using your hearing aid for your
personal safety and to ensure correct
use.
Please note that a hearing aid will not
restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions.
Furthermore, note that in most cases,
infrequent use of a hearing aid does
not permit a user to attain full benefit
from it.
Consult your hearing care professional if
you experience unexpected operations
or events with your hearing aid.
Usage of hearing aids
Hearing aids should be used only as
directed and adjusted by your hearing
care professional. Misuse can result in
sudden and permanent hearing loss.
Never allow others to wear your hearing
aid as incorrect usage could cause permanent damage to their hearing.
Choking hazards & risk of swallowing
batteries
Hearing aids, their parts, and batteries
should be kept out of reach of children
and anyone who might swallow these
items, or otherwise cause injury to
themselves.
Batteries have occasionally been
mistaken for pills. Therefore, check your
medicine carefully before swallowing
any pills.
Most hearing aids can be supplied with
a tamper-resistant battery drawer upon
request. This is strongly recommended
for infants, small children and people
with learning difficulties.
Children younger than 36 months must
always use a tamper-resistant battery
drawer. Please talk to your hearing care
professional about the availability of
this option.
If a battery or hearing aid is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately.
Battery use
Always use batteries recommended by
your hearing care professional. Batteries of low quality may leak and cause
bodily harm.
Never attempt to recharge your batteries and never dispose of batteries by
burning them. There is a risk that the
batteries will explode.
Dysfunction
Be aware of the possibility that your
hearing aid may stop working without
notice. Keep this in mind when you
depend on warning sounds (e.g. when you
are in trac). The hearing aids may stop
functioning, for instance if the batteries
have expired or if the tubing is blocked by
moisture or ear wax.

Active implants
Caution must be taken with active implants. In general, follow the guidelines
recommended by manufacturers of
implantable defibrillators and pacemakers regarding use with mobile phones
and magnets.
The Autophone magnet and MultiTool
(which has a built-in magnet) should be
kept more than 30 cm away from the
implant, e.g. do not carry it 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.
X-ray/CT/MR/ PET scanning and
electrotherapy
Remove your hearing aid before X-ray/
CT/MR/PET scanning, electrotherapy,
surgery etc. as your hearing aid may
be damaged when exposed to strong
fields.
Heat and chemicals
The hearing aid must never be exposed
to extreme heat e.g. left inside a parked
car in the sun.
The hearing aid must not be dried in
microwave ovens or other ovens.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray,
perfume, aftershave lotion, suntan
lotion and insect repellent can damage
the hearing aid. Always remove your
hearing aid before applying such products and allow time to dry before use.
Power instrument
Special care should be exercised in
selecting, fitting and using a hearing
aid where maximum sound pressure
capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711),
as there may be risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing aid user.
For information on whether your
hearing aid is a power instrument,
see the back of this leaflet.
Possible side effects
Hearing aids, moulds or domes may
cause an accelerated accumulation of
ear wax.
The otherwise non-allergenic materials
used in hearing aids may in rare cases
cause a skin irritation or other side
effects.
Please seek consultation with a
physician if these conditions occur.
Interference
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested for interference, according to the
most stringent international standards. However, interference between
the hearing aid and other devices (e.g.
some mobile telephones, citizens band
systems and shop alarm systems and
other devices) may occur. If this occurs,
increase the distance between the
hearing aid and the interfering device.
Connection to external equipment
The safety of the hearing aid when
connected to external equipment (via
auxiliary input cable, via USB cable, or
directly), is determined by the external
equipment. When connected to external
equipment plugged into a wall outlet,
this equipment must comply with
IEC-60065, IEC-60950 or equivalent
safety standards.
