The batteries used in these hearing aids should not exceed
1.5 Volts. Please do not use silver-zinc or Li-ion (lithium-ion)
rechargeable batteries as these may cause severe damage to
your hearing aids. The table in chapter 5 explains exactly
which type of battery your particular hearing aids require.
Remove the battery if you are not using your hearing aid for
a long period of time.
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.
Do not use your hearing aid in areas where electronic
equipment is prohibited.
The dome should be changed every three months or when it
becomes stiff or brittle. This is to prevent the dome from
detaching from the tube spout during insertion into or
removal from the ear.
When you are not using your hearing aid, leave the battery
door open so that any moisture can evaporate. Make sure that
you always completely dry your hearing aid after use. Store
the hearing aid in a safe, dry and clean place.
Do not drop your hearing aid! Dropping onto a hard surface
can damage your hearing aid.
Always use new batteries for your hearing aid. In case a
battery is leaking, replace it immediately with a new one to
avoid any skin irritation. You can return used batteries
to your hearing care professional.
