•
A power hearing aid can produce very loud sound to compensate for severe or profound
hearing loss. There is a risk that the loud sound can further impair the user’s hearing.
•
External devices connected to the electrical input must be safe according to the requirements of
IEC 60601-1, IEC 60065, EN/IEC 62368-1, or IEC 60950-1, as appropriate.
•
Warning to hearing care professionals: Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting
hearing aids with a maximum sound pressure level that exceeds 132 dB SPL, measured in a 2 cc
acoustic coupler in accordance with IEC 60318-5:2006. The remaining hearing may risk further
impairment.
CAUTION:
•
Use your hearing aids as your hearing care professional recommends. Incorrect use may
damage your hearing.
•
Do not use a broken hearing aid. It may not work properly and may be harmful to your hearing. It
may also cause scratches or sores due to sharp edges.
•
Only use original tubes and domes with your hearing aids.
•
For safety reasons, use only the charger supplied by Beltone (Rechargeable model).
•
Only use accessories intended for use with your hearing aids. Consult your hearing aid
professional for more information.
•
Do not try to modify the shape of your hearing aid or accessories. This can cause skin reactions
or sharp edges leading to scratches or sores.
