Warnings
More info
If you have an active brain implant,
please contact the manufacturer of
your implantable device for information
about the risk of disturbance.
The Autophone magnet and brush
(which has a built-in magnet) should
be kept at least 30 cm away from the
implant, e.g. do not carry it in a breast
pocket.
X-ray/CT/MR/ PET scanning and
electrotherapy
Remove your hearing aid before X-ray/
CT/MR/PET scanning, electrotherapy,
surgery etc. as your hearing aid may
be damaged when exposed to strong
electromagnetic fields.
Heat and chemicals
The hearing aid must never be exposed
to extreme heat e.g. left inside a parked
car in the sun.
The hearing aid must not be dried in
microwave ovens or other ovens.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray,
perfume, aftershave lotion, suntan
lotion and insect repellent can damage
the hearing aid. Always remove your
hearing aid before applying such prod-
ucts and allow time to dry before use.
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 711),
as there may be risk of impairing the re-
maining hearing of the hearing aid user.
For information on whether your hear-
ing aid is a power instrument, see the
back of this leaflet.
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 physi-
cian if these conditions occur.
Interference
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested for interference, according to the
most stringent international stand-
ards. However, interference between
the hearing aid and other devices (e.g.
some mobile telephones, citizens band
systems and shop alarm systems and
other devices) may occur. If this occurs,
increase the distance between the
hearing aid and the interfering device.
Connection to external equipment
The safety of the hearing aid when
connected to external equipment (via
auxiliary input cable, or directly), is
determined by the external equipment.
When connected to external equipment
plugged into a wall outlet, this equip-
ment must comply with
IEC-62368 (or IEC-60065, IEC-60950
until June 20, 2019) or equivalent safety
standards.
