Warnings

   The intended use of hearing aids is to 

amplify and transmit sound to the ears and 

hereby compensate for impaired hearing. 

The hearing aids (specially programmed for 

each hearing loss) must only be used by the 

intended person. They should not be used 

by any other person as they could damage 

hearing.

   Hearing aids should only be used as 

directed by your physician or hearing care 

professional.

    Hearing aids will not restore normal hearing 

and will not prevent or improve a hearing 

impairment resulting from organic conditions.

    Do not use your hearing aids in explosion 

hazard areas.

    Allergic reactions to hearing aids are unlikely. 

However, if you experience itching, redness, 

soreness, inflammation or a burning 

sensation in or around your ears, inform your 

hearing care professional and contact your 

physician.
