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 incor-
rect usage could cause permanent damage to their
hearing

Choking Hazards and 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-resis-
tant battery drawer upon request. This is strongly
recommended for infants, small children, and people
with learning difficulties. Ask your hearing care profes­sional if a tamper-resistant battery drawer is available
for your hearing aid.

If a battery or other small parts are swallowed, see a
doctor immediately.

44

SONIC

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
traffic). 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

· If your hearing aid has a wireless transmission, keep
the hearing aid at least 15 cm away from the implant,
e.g. do not carry it in a breast pocket. In general, please
follow the guidelines recommended by the manufactur­ers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers on
use with mobile phones.

45

USER GUIDE CPx BTE

· Your Autophone magnet or MultiTool (which has a

by the manufacturer of implantable defibrillators and
pacemakers on use with magnets.

· If you have an active brain implant, please contact the
manufacturer of your implantable device for
information about the risk of disturbance

Explosives

· The power source in your hearing aid has insufficient
energy to cause fire in normal usage conditions. The
hearing aid has not been tested for compliance with
international standards concerning explosive
environments. We recommended not to use your
hearing aid in areas where there is a danger of explo­sions.

46

SONIC

X-ray, CT, MR, PET Scanning and Electrotherapy

· Remove your hearing aid for example during X-ray, CT /
MR / PET scanning electrotherapy or surgery as your
hearing aid may be damaged when exposed to strong
fields

Avoiding Heat and Chemicals

· Your hearing aid must never be exposed to extreme
heat e.g., left inside a parked car in the sun

· Your hearing aid must not be dried in microwave ovens
or other ovens

· The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, after
shave lotion, suntan lotion and insect repellent can
damage your hearing aid. Always remove your hearing
aid before applying such products and allow time to dry
before putting it on.

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 60318-4), as there may be risk of impairing the
remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user

47

USER GUIDE CPx BTE

For information of whether your instrument is a power
instrument, please ask your hearing care professional.

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

· Your hearing aid has been thoroughly tested for inter-
ference, according to the most stringent
international standards. However, interference with
your hearing aid and other devices may occur,
(e.g., some mobile telephones, citizens band
systems,and shop alarm systems). If this occurs,
increase the distance between the hearing aid and
the device.

48

SONIC

Connection to External Equipment

· The safety of the use of the hearing aid with an auxiliary
input cable is determined by the external signal source.
When the input cable is connected to equipment
plugged into a wall outlet, this equipment must comply
with IEC 60601, IEC 60065 or equivalent safety stan­dards.

Safety Information

· Hearing aids should be adjusted by a trained hearing
care professional

· Never insert cleaning tools into the sound outlet or
microphone inlet. This could damage the hearing aid.

· Remove your hearing aid before sleeping

· Keep your hearing aid in the case for protection when
you are not wearing it

USER GUIDE CPx BTE

International Warranty

Your hearing aid is covered by an international limited
warranty issued by the manufacturer from the date of
delivery.

This limited warranty covers manufacturing and
material defects in the hearing aid itself, but not
accessories such as batteries, tubing, ear wax filters etc.
Problems arising from improper handling or care,
excessive use, accidents, repairs made by an
unauthorized party, exposure to corrosive conditions,
physical changes in your ear, damage due to foreign
objects entering the device, or incorrect adjustments are
NOT covered by the limited warranty and may void it.

The above warranty does not affect any legal rights that
you might have under applicable national legislation
governing sale of consumer goods. Your hearing care
professional may have issued a warranty that goes
beyond the clauses of this limited warranty. Please
consult him/her for further information.

USER GUIDE CPx BTE

Mobile Phone

Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing sound
in their hearing aid when they are using mobile phones,
indicating that the mobile phone and hearing aid may not
be compatible.

The ANSI C63.19 standard determines the prediction of
compatibility between a specific hearing aid and a mobile
phone by adding the numerical value of the rating for the
hearing aid immunity to the numerical value of the rating
for the mobile phone emissions. A sum of 4 would
indicate that the combination of wireless device and
hearing aid is usable; a combined rating that equals 5
would provide normal use; a combined rating of 6 or
greater would indicate excellent performance.

Whereas all hearing aids have acoustic coupling, only the
larger instruments have the physical space for telecoil
(inductive) coupling. These two types of coupling have
different rating scales (M1-M4 for acoustic coupling and
T1-T4 for telecoil coupling, respectively) and both ratings
are therefore relevant when predicting the compatibility
of a particular instrument.

52

SONIC

For a hearing aid with both acoustic coupling and telecoil
coupling with a rating of M4/T2 and with a telephone
rating of M3/T3, the combined rating is 7
(M4 + M3) for the acoustic coupling and 5
(T2 + T3) for the telecoil coupling. According to the
guideline given above, both types of coupling will thereby
be acceptable, with the acoustic coupling indicating
excellent performance and the telecoil coupling
indicating normal use. The above equipment
performance measurements, categories and system
classifications are based upon the best information
available, but it cannot be guaranteed that all users will
be satisfied.

The immunity of all Sonic hearing instrument models
covered by these instructions for use is at least M2/T2.

Important Notice

The performance of individual hearing instruments
may vary with individual cell phones. Therefore, please
try this hearing instrument with your mobile phone or,
if you are purchasing a new phone, be sure to try it
with your hearing instrument prior to purchase. For
additional guidance, please ask your cell phone
provider for the booklet entitled “Hearing Aid
Compatibility with Digital Wireless Cell Phones”.

53

USER GUIDE CPx BTE

Technical Information

The hearing aid contains a radio transmitter using short
range magnetic induction technology working at

3.84 MHz. The magnetic field strength of the transmitter
is < –42 dBμA/m @ 10m.

The emission power from the radio system is well below
international emission limits for human exposure. For
comparison, the radiation of the hearing aid is lower than
unintended electromagnetic radiation from for example
halogen lamps, computer monitors, dishwashers, etc.
