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 traffic).

Be aware of the possibility that the directional
microphone in your hearing aid may reduce
the volume of some warning sounds coming
from behind you.

Remove your hearing aid before applying
aftershave, hairspray, oils, perfume, mosquito
repellent, lotions, etc. If your hearing aid is
exposed to such a product, allow the product
to dry before you put your hearing aid on.
