• If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your implantable
device for information about the risk of disturbance.
• The included case for instrument storage has a built-in magnet. If you have an implant-
able device, such as pacemakers or defibrillators, the instrument case should not be
carried in a chest pocket or near to the chest.
Explosives
• The power source in your hearing instrument has insufficient energy to cause fire in
normal conditions of use. The hearing instrument has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning explosive atmostpheres. It is recommended not
to use your hearing instruments in areas where there is a danger of explosions.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and electrotherapy
• Remove your hearing instrument for example during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning,
electrotherapy or surgery as your hearing instruments may be damaged when exposed
to strong fields.
Possible side effects
• The hearing instrument or earmold is a custom-made product. If you are experiencing
discomfort, see your audiologist or hearing instrument dispenser immediately for
modification of the hearing instrument or earmold at the point of irritation. A hearing
instrument or earmold may cause an accelerated accumulation of cerumen (earwax).
Also in rare cases, the otherwise non-allergenic material may cause a discharge from
the ear, allergic reaction, or any other unusual condition. Please seek immediate
consultation with a physician if these conditions occur.
Children with hearing loss
• In addition to seeing a physician for medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss
should be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation, since hearing
loss may cause problems in language development, educational and social growth of a
child. An audiologist is qualified by training and experience to assist in the evaluation
and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss. If the user is an infant, small child or
person of mental incapacity, it is recommended that the hearing instrument be
modified with a tamper-resistant battery compartment.
