•
If you have two hearing aids, they may be programmed differently. Do not swap them as this
could damage your hearing. Your hearing aids are colour-coded. Left = blue. Right = red. If your
hearing aids are not colour coded, ask your hearing care professional to add colour-coding.
•
If you experience side effects, contact your hearing care professional. Possible side effects from
wearing a hearing aid may be:
– Dizziness
– Tinnitus
– Perceived worsening of hearing loss
– Nausea
– Headache
– Skin reaction
– Ear wax accumulation
•
If you suspect that you have a dome, wax filter or other object in your ear canal, consult your
hearing care professional. These objects can be harmful and can cause an infection in your ear.
•
If you have a sore or injury where your hearing aid touches your ear or head, continued use of
the hearing aid may cause it to worsen or prevent it from healing. Consult your hearing care
professional for assistance.
•
Your hearing aids are tuned to your hearing. Do not allow others to use your hearing aids as this
can damage their hearing.
•
Turn off hearing aid wireless functionality when this is required.
