General warnings and cautions
WARNING:
•
Keep hearing aids away from pets, children and people with cognitive, intellectual or mental health
challenges.
•
Never leave children or people with cognitive, intellectual or mental health challenges unsupervised
while using their hearing aids. Hearing aids contain small pieces that can be dangerous if swallowed.
•
Swallowing a hearing aid can result in choking and can be harmful to your health.
•
If any part of a hearing aid is swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
•
Consult a hearing care professional:
– If you think there may be a foreign object in your ear canal
– If you experience skin irritation
– If excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing aid

•
Do not wear your hearing aids while being exposed to radiation. Some types of radiation, e.g. from MRI
or CT scanners, can affect the settings in your hearing aids, causing malfunction and potentially
damage to your hearing.
•
Other types of radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems, mobile phones, metal
detectors and radio equipment will not damage your hearing aids. They may, however, briefly affect
the sound quality in your hearing aids and may create undesired sounds.
