Please read the information on the following pages before
using your hearing aid.
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from
organic conditions. Infrequent use of a hearing aid does not
permit a user to attain full benefit from it. The use of a
hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation and may
need to be supplemented by auditory training and
instruction in lipreading.
Hearing aids are suitable for the home healthcare
environment and due to their portability it may happen
that they are used in professional healthcare facility
environments like physician offices, dental offices etc.
21. Important safety information
Your Virto M-312 hearing aids operate between
2.4 GHz–2.48 GHz frequency range. When flying please
check if flight operator requires devices to be switched
into flight mode, see chapter 14.
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.
Changes or modifications to the hearing aid that were
not explicitly approved by Sonova AG are not permitted.
Such changes may damage your ear or the hearing aid.
Do not use the hearing aids in explosive areas (mines
or industrial areas with danger of explosions, oxygen-rich
environments or areas where flammable anesthetics
are handled).
