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.
In the unlikely case that any parts remain
in the ear canals after the removal of
the hearing aids, contact a physician
immediately.
Special medical or dental examination
including radiation described below, may
adversely affect the correct functioning of
your hearing aids. Remove and keep them
outside the examination room/area before
undergoing:
- Medical or dental examination with X-ray
(also CT scan).
- Medical examinations with MRI/NMRI scans,
generating magnetic fields.
- Hearing aids don’t need to be removed
when passing security gates (airports etc.).
If X-ray is used at all, it will be in very low
doses, and will not affect the hearing aids.
Special care should be exercised in wearing
hearing aids when maximum sound pressure
levels exceed 132 decibels. There may be
a risk of impairing your remaining hearing.
