General Warnings
For your personal safety and to ensure
correct usage, you should familiarise
yourself fully with the following general
warnings before using your hearing aids.
Consult your hearing care professional if
you experience unexpected operations
or serious incidents with your hearing
aids during use or because of its use. Your
hearing care professional will support
you with issue handling and, if relevant,
reporting to the manufacturer and/or the
national authorities.
Note that hearing aids do not restore
normal hearing and do not prevent or
improve a hearing impairment resulting
from organic conditions. Hearing aids are
only a part of hearing habilitation and
may need to be supplemented by auditory
training and instruction in lipreading.
Furthermore, note that in most cases,
infrequent use of hearing aids does not
permit a user to attain full benefit from it.
Only charge the hearing aids with a
designated charger. Other chargers risk
destroying the hearing aids and batteries.
Usage of hearing aids
Hearing aids should only be used 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 and risk of swallowing
batteries and other small parts
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.
