Stop Using Hearing aids and Consult a Physician if:

* You develop an infection of your ear or ear canal.
* Skin irritation develops in or around your ear canal.
* Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
* Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days.
* History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
* Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500 hertz (Hz),
1000Hz, and 2000 Hz.
* History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90
days.
* Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the
ear canal.

Children with hearing loss
In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a child with a hearing
loss should be directed to an audiologist for evalution and rehabilitaion. Hearing
loss may cause problems in language development, educational growth, and
social growth of a child. Training and experience qualify an audiologist to assist
in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.
* The applicable age of this product is 6 years old and above. (Children from 6 to
14 years old must use the device under the supervision of adults.)
Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing aid whose
maximum sound pressure level exceeds 132 decibels because there may be
risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing aid user.
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a
hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. In most cases infrequent
use of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full benefit from it. The use
of hearing aid(s) is only part of hearing rehabilitation and may need to be
supplemented by auditory training and instruction in lip reading.
